Frequently Asked Questions

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