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.
How long does the Cricket protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. 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

Golf

Rotational-dominant sport demanding asymmetric hip mobility, thoracic rotation, lead-side weight transfer, and wrist control. Assessment targets the hip IR/ER ratio (critical for X-factor), thoracic rotation capacity, lead foot pressure dynamics, and wrist ROM for club face control.

 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.

 Track & Field (Sprints)

Linear-speed sport demanding maximal hip extension power, ankle stiffness for ground contact, hamstring length for swing-phase mechanics, and thoracic rotation for arm-leg coupling.

 Mixed Martial Arts

Multi-discipline combat sport combining striking, wrestling, and grappling. Demands hip IR/ER for kicking and grappling, thoracic rotation for power and scrambles, cervical resilience for takedown defense.

 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.

 Water Polo

Aquatic contact sport requiring treading endurance, overhead throwing power while treading, shoulder stability under fatigue, and hip flexibility for eggbeater kick efficiency.
