Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Track & Field (Jumps) biomechanical assessment include?
The Track & Field (Jumps) protocol assesses Ankle Dorsiflexion, Hip Internal Rotation, Hip External Rotation and 3 additional ROM tests specific to track & field (jumps) demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Track & Field (Jumps) assessment?
Any track & field (jumps) athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in track & field (jumps)-specific movement patterns.
How long does the Track & Field (Jumps) protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. 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 Track & Field (Jumps) protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Track & Field (Jumps) protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Extreme hip ER/IR for turnout, ankle plantarflexion for pointe/releve, thoracic extension for port de bras, controlled turnout through full range.

 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.

 Climbing / Bouldering

Vertical sport demanding finger tendon health, shoulder stability in overhead and off-axis positions, hip flexibility for high-step and flagging movements, and antagonist muscle balance to prevent pull-dominant postural deformity.
