Frequently Asked Questions

What does the CrossFit biomechanical assessment include?
The CrossFit protocol assesses Shoulder Horizontal Abduction, Shoulder Internal Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation and 3 additional ROM tests specific to crossfit demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a CrossFit assessment?
Any crossfit athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in crossfit-specific movement patterns.
How long does the CrossFit protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 5 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the CrossFit protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the CrossFit protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Track & Field (Jumps)

Explosive jumping events (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault) demanding ankle stiffness for takeoff, hip extension power for flight, thoracic extension for technique, and knee resilience for landing forces.

 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.

 Handball

High-intensity team sport combining overhead throwing, sprinting, jumping, and physical contact. Demands shoulder IR/ER for throwing velocity, hip power for cutting and jumping, and cervical resilience for contact situations.

 Rugby

Full-contact field sport demanding neck strength for tackle and scrum safety, shoulder stability for tackling and carrying, hip power for acceleration and breakdown, and concussion return-to-play screening.

 American Football

Contact collision sport. Universal demands: hip power, neck strength for collision, shoulder stability for blocking/tackling, ankle DF for stance and cuts.

 Horseback Riding / Equestrian

Seated sport demanding hip adductor endurance for seat stability, thoracic extension for upright posture, pelvic mobility for following the horse's movement, and core stability for balance at all gaits.
