Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Tennis

Asymmetric overhead + rotational sport with extreme demand on shoulder ER/IR ratio (serve mechanics), lateral movement capacity (split step, recovery), thoracic rotation (groundstrokes), and ankle dorsiflexion (low-stance readiness and lateral push-off).

 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Ground-dominant grappling art requiring extreme hip mobility for guard retention, cervical resilience for choke defense, grip endurance for gi/no-gi control, and thoracic rotation for sweeps and submission setups.

 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.

 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.

 Field Hockey

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

 Baseball / Softball

Asymmetric overhead throwing with GIRD monitoring, thoracic rotation for batting/throwing, hip rotation for swing, and lead leg stability for pitching.
