Frequently Asked Questions

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