Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Motocross / Motorcycle Racing

High-impact motor sport demanding grip and forearm endurance (arm pump prevention), cervical resilience for G-forces and impacts, hip mobility for bike control, and thoracic extension for riding posture.

 Track & Field (Sprints)

Linear-speed sport demanding maximal hip extension power, ankle stiffness for ground contact, hamstring length for swing-phase mechanics, and thoracic rotation for arm-leg coupling.

 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.

 Triathlon

Multi-discipline endurance sport combining swimming, cycling, and running in sequence. Demands shoulder IR/ER ratio for swim, thoracic extension for bike-to-run transition, hip mobility across three distinct movement patterns, and ankle resilience for the cumulative impact of sequential loading.

 Mountain Biking

Off-road cycling requiring shock absorption through the arms and legs, thoracic extension for descending posture, hip mobility for technical sections, and cervical endurance for trail scanning.

 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.
