Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Calisthenics biomechanical assessment include?
The Calisthenics protocol assesses Shoulder Flexion, Shoulder Internal Rotation, Shoulder Horizontal Abduction and 3 additional ROM tests specific to calisthenics demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Calisthenics assessment?
Any calisthenics athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in calisthenics-specific movement patterns.
What does the Calisthenics protocol cover?
It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 4 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the Calisthenics protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Calisthenics protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.
