Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Table Tennis

Precision racket sport requiring rapid wrist and forearm rotation, asymmetric hip loading from a crouched stance, thoracic rotation for forehand loops, and cervical tracking for ball-following at high speed.

 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.

 Rowing / Crew

Cyclical pulling sport demanding hip hinge endurance, thoracic mobility for the catch position, shoulder overhead capacity for the finish, and hamstring flexibility for the drive phase.

 Boxing

Striking sport demanding shoulder endurance for guard, hip rotation power for cross/hook mechanics, ankle stability for pivoting, and cervical resilience for head movement.

 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.
