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.
What does the Functional Fitness / HYROX 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 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.
