Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Track & Field (Throws)

Power-rotational events requiring thoracic rotation for wind-up, hip IR for power foot plant, shoulder mobility for delivery, and core bracing for force transfer.

 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.

 Roller Hockey

Skating-based team sport on hard surface. Hip adduction/abduction for stride, ankle stability in inline skates, groin resilience, thoracic rotation for shooting.

 Judo

Olympic throwing and ground grappling demanding grip strength for kumi-kata, hip mobility for throw entries, shoulder stability for grip fighting, and ukemi readiness.

 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.

 Pole Vault

Complex technical event combining sprinting, planting, and aerial gymnastics. Demands full overhead shoulder mobility for the plant, hip flexibility for the inversion, thoracic extension for takeoff, and sprint mechanics for the approach.
