Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Track & Field (Jumps)

Explosive jumping events (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault) demanding ankle stiffness for takeoff, hip extension power for flight, thoracic extension for technique, and knee resilience for landing forces.

 Powerlifting

Maximum-strength sport requiring squat depth (hip below knee), bench press arch with shoulder stability, and deadlift hip hinge from floor. Assessment targets the mobility prerequisites for each competition lift: hip flexion/rotation for squat, shoulder mobility for bench, and hip hinge depth for deadlift.

 American Football

Contact collision sport. Universal demands: hip power, neck strength for collision, shoulder stability for blocking/tackling, ankle DF for stance and cuts.

 Triathlon

Multi-discipline endurance sport combining swimming, cycling, and running in sequence. Demands shoulder IR/ER ratio for swim, thoracic extension for bike-to-run transition, hip mobility across three distinct movement patterns, and ankle resilience for the cumulative impact of sequential loading.

 Badminton

Overhead racket sport demanding extreme shoulder rotation speed for smash, rapid lateral movement for court coverage, wrist flexibility for deceptive shots, and ankle stability for explosive lunging patterns.

 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.
