Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Track & Field (Sprints) biomechanical assessment include?
The Track & Field (Sprints) protocol assesses Hip Internal Rotation, Hip External Rotation, Straight Leg Raise and 3 additional ROM tests specific to track & field (sprints) demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Track & Field (Sprints) assessment?
Any track & field (sprints) athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in track & field (sprints)-specific movement patterns.
What does the Track & Field (Sprints) protocol cover?
It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 4 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the Track & Field (Sprints) protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Track & Field (Sprints) protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Powerlifting

Maximum-strength sport requiring squat depth (hip below knee), bench press arch with shoulder stability, and deadlift hip hinge from floor. Assessment targets the mobility prerequisites for each competition lift: hip flexion/rotation for squat, shoulder mobility for bench, and hip hinge depth for deadlift.

 Dance (Ballet / Contemporary)

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

 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.

 Pole Vault

Complex technical event combining sprinting, planting, and aerial gymnastics. Demands full overhead shoulder mobility for the plant, hip flexibility for the inversion, thoracic extension for takeoff, and sprint mechanics for the approach.

 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.

 Field Hockey

Sustained-flexion field sport requiring hip hinge endurance, thoracic rotation for hitting, wrist/forearm resilience, and hamstring flexibility.
