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.
What does the Track & Field (Jumps) 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 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.

Related Sport Protocols

Functional Fitness / HYROX

Hybrid fitness competition combining running with functional movements like sled push/pull, burpees, wall balls, and rowing. Demands multi-modal endurance, hip mobility for varied patterns, shoulder stability for overhead work, and ankle resilience across surfaces.

 Horseback Riding / Equestrian

Seated sport demanding hip adductor endurance for seat stability, thoracic extension for upright posture, pelvic mobility for following the horse's movement, and core stability for balance at all gaits.

 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.

 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.

 Golf

Rotational-dominant sport demanding asymmetric hip mobility, thoracic rotation, lead-side weight transfer, and wrist control. Assessment targets the hip IR/ER ratio (critical for X-factor), thoracic rotation capacity, lead foot pressure dynamics, and wrist ROM for club face control.

 Surfing

Ocean sport demanding shoulder paddling endurance, thoracic extension for pop-up mechanics, hip mobility for bottom turns, ankle stability for board control, and rapid prone-to-standing transitions.
