Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cycling (Road/Track) biomechanical assessment include?
The Cycling (Road/Track) protocol assesses Hip Flexion Active, Hip Internal Rotation, Thoracic Extension and 3 additional ROM tests specific to cycling (road/track) demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Cycling (Road/Track) assessment?
Any cycling (road/track) athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in cycling (road/track)-specific movement patterns.
How long does the Cycling (Road/Track) 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 Cycling (Road/Track) protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Cycling (Road/Track) 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.

 Skateboarding

Balance and impact sport demanding ankle stability for board control, hip mobility for trick execution, thoracic rotation for body rotation tricks, and wrist resilience for fall absorption.

 Fencing

Linear combat sport demanding hip flexibility for the en garde stance, ankle dorsiflexion for deep lunges, thoracic rotation for parry-riposte, and asymmetric loading management from dominant-side overuse.

 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.

 Climbing / Bouldering

Vertical sport demanding finger tendon health, shoulder stability in overhead and off-axis positions, hip flexibility for high-step and flagging movements, and antagonist muscle balance to prevent pull-dominant postural deformity.
