Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Archery biomechanical assessment include?
The Archery protocol assesses Shoulder Internal Rotation, Shoulder Horizontal Abduction, Thoracic Extension and 3 additional ROM tests specific to archery demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Archery assessment?
Any archery athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in archery-specific movement patterns.
What does the Archery protocol cover?
It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 3 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the Archery protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Archery protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Street Workout

Outdoor bodyweight strength: shoulder stability for bar work/human flag, wrist conditioning on hard surfaces, thoracic extension for back lever, core compression for front lever.

 Tennis

Asymmetric overhead + rotational sport with extreme demand on shoulder ER/IR ratio (serve mechanics), lateral movement capacity (split step, recovery), thoracic rotation (groundstrokes), and ankle dorsiflexion (low-stance readiness and lateral push-off).

 Volleyball

Court sport with repetitive overhead shoulder loading (spiking, serving), high landing impact demanding ankle stability, knee valgus prevention during jump-landing, and vertical jump power requirements.

 Sailing

Endurance sport with sustained isometric hiking demands, shoulder loading for sheet handling, thoracic rotation for tacking, and grip endurance for helm and line work.

 Running

Sagittal-dominant cyclical sport where injury risk correlates with hip drop (Trendelenburg), reduced hip extension, ankle dorsiflexion deficit, and thoracic rotation restriction. Assessment focuses on gait-cycle prerequisites rather than maximum ROM.

 Surfing

Ocean sport demanding shoulder paddling endurance, thoracic extension for pop-up mechanics, hip mobility for bottom turns, ankle stability for board control, and rapid prone-to-standing transitions.
