Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Bodybuilding

Hypertrophy-focused training demanding full ROM for maximum muscle stimulus, shoulder health for pressing and pulling volume, hip mobility for squat depth, and thoracic extension for posing and upper back development.

 Basketball

Multi-directional court sport demanding ankle stability for cutting/landing, hip power for vertical jump, shoulder mobility for shooting, and lateral movement for defense.

 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.

 Mountain Biking

Off-road cycling requiring shock absorption through the arms and legs, thoracic extension for descending posture, hip mobility for technical sections, and cervical endurance for trail scanning.

 Archery

Precision sport demanding sustained shoulder isometric endurance for draw hold, scapular stability for aiming, thoracic extension for bow posture, and cervical rotation for target acquisition.

 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.
