Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Functional Fitness / HYROX biomechanical assessment include?
The Functional Fitness / HYROX protocol assesses Hip Internal Rotation, Hip External Rotation, Shoulder Flexion and 3 additional ROM tests specific to functional fitness / hyrox demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Functional Fitness / HYROX assessment?
Any functional fitness / hyrox athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in functional fitness / hyrox-specific movement patterns.
How long does the Functional Fitness / HYROX protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. 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 Functional Fitness / HYROX protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Functional Fitness / HYROX protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Muay Thai

Stand-up striking using all eight limbs. Demands hip ER for roundhouse chambering, thoracic rotation for elbows/knees, and single-leg balance for kicking.

 Surfing

Ocean sport demanding shoulder paddling endurance, thoracic extension for pop-up mechanics, hip mobility for bottom turns, ankle stability for board control, and rapid prone-to-standing transitions.

 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.

 Calisthenics

Bodyweight strength: shoulder mobility for handstands/muscle-ups, thoracic extension for overhead, wrist strength for handstand loading, hip flexor length for hollow body.

 Squash

Explosive racket sport in confined court. Demands thoracic rotation for shots, hip IR/ER for lunging, ankle DF for deep lunges, shoulder flexibility for overhead shots.

 Trail Running / Ultra

Extended-distance running on uneven terrain demanding ankle stability for variable surfaces, hip strength for elevation changes, thoracic rotation for arm carriage over long distances, and downhill eccentric capacity.
