Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Boxing

Striking sport demanding shoulder endurance for guard, hip rotation power for cross/hook mechanics, ankle stability for pivoting, and cervical resilience for head movement.

 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.

 Cheerleading

Acrobatic team sport demanding overhead shoulder stability for stunts and bases, hip flexibility for splits and jumps, ankle stability for tumbling landings, and thoracic extension for back handsprings.

 Strongman

Strength sport with odd-object lifting, carrying, pressing, and dragging. Demands hip hinge capacity for stone loads, overhead shoulder stability for log press, grip endurance, and thoracic extension for yoke and farmer's walks.

 Cricket

Bat-and-ball sport with asymmetric demands from bowling, batting, and fielding. Bowlers require thoracic rotation and shoulder IR management, batters need hip rotation and thoracic mobility, fielders demand lateral movement and throwing capacity.

 Skiing / Snowboarding

Snow sport demanding knee stability for ACL injury prevention, hip strength for turn initiation, ankle dorsiflexion for boot-locked mechanics, and core anti-rotation capacity for moguls and variable terrain.
