Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Trail Running / Ultra

Extended-distance running on uneven terrain demanding ankle stability for variable surfaces, hip strength for elevation changes, thoracic rotation for arm carriage over long distances, and downhill eccentric capacity.

 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.

 Running

Sagittal-dominant cyclical sport where injury risk correlates with hip drop (Trendelenburg), reduced hip extension, ankle dorsiflexion deficit, and thoracic rotation restriction. Assessment focuses on gait-cycle prerequisites rather than maximum ROM.

 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.

 Ice Hockey

High-velocity skating requiring hip adduction/abduction for stride, groin resilience, thoracic rotation for shooting, and ankle DF for skating posture.

 Squash

Explosive racket sport in confined court. Demands thoracic rotation for shots, hip IR/ER for lunging, ankle DF for deep lunges, shoulder flexibility for overhead shots.
