Frequently Asked Questions

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