Frequently Asked Questions

What does the CrossFit biomechanical assessment include?
The CrossFit protocol assesses Shoulder Horizontal Abduction, Shoulder Internal Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation and 3 additional ROM tests specific to crossfit demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a CrossFit assessment?
Any crossfit athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in crossfit-specific movement patterns.
What does the CrossFit protocol cover?
It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 5 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the CrossFit protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the CrossFit protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.
