Sport

Cricket

Bat-and-ball sport with asymmetric demands from bowling, batting, and fielding. Bowlers require thoracic rotation and shoulder IR management, batters need hip rotation and thoracic mobility, fielders demand lateral movement and throwing capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cricket biomechanical assessment include?
The Cricket protocol assesses Shoulder Internal Rotation, Lower Trunk Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation and 3 additional ROM tests specific to cricket demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Cricket assessment?
Any cricket athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in cricket-specific movement patterns.
What does the Cricket 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 Cricket protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Cricket protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Rugby

Full-contact field sport demanding neck strength for tackle and scrum safety, shoulder stability for tackling and carrying, hip power for acceleration and breakdown, and concussion return-to-play screening.

 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.

 Dance (Ballet / Contemporary)

Extreme hip ER/IR for turnout, ankle plantarflexion for pointe/releve, thoracic extension for port de bras, controlled turnout through full range.

 Cheerleading

Acrobatic team sport demanding overhead shoulder stability for stunts and bases, hip flexibility for splits and jumps, ankle stability for tumbling landings, and thoracic extension for back handsprings.

 Pickleball

Fast-growing racket sport demanding shoulder endurance for dinking, wrist mobility for paddle control, lateral movement for coverage, and hip hinge for kitchen play.

 Table Tennis

Precision racket sport requiring rapid wrist and forearm rotation, asymmetric hip loading from a crouched stance, thoracic rotation for forehand loops, and cervical tracking for ball-following at high speed.
