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.

 Badminton

Overhead racket sport demanding extreme shoulder rotation speed for smash, rapid lateral movement for court coverage, wrist flexibility for deceptive shots, and ankle stability for explosive lunging patterns.

 Track & Field (Throws)

Power-rotational events requiring thoracic rotation for wind-up, hip IR for power foot plant, shoulder mobility for delivery, and core bracing for force transfer.
