Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

 Rowing / Crew

Cyclical pulling sport demanding hip hinge endurance, thoracic mobility for the catch position, shoulder overhead capacity for the finish, and hamstring flexibility for the drive phase.

 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.

Explosive jumping events (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault) demanding ankle stiffness for takeoff, hip extension power for flight, thoracic extension for technique, and knee resilience for landing forces.

 Volleyball

Court sport with repetitive overhead shoulder loading (spiking, serving), high landing impact demanding ankle stability, knee valgus prevention during jump-landing, and vertical jump power requirements.

 Table Tennis

Precision racket sport requiring rapid wrist and forearm rotation, asymmetric hip loading from a crouched stance, thoracic rotation for forehand loops, and cervical tracking for ball-following at high speed.
