Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

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.

 CrossFit

Multi-modal fitness combining weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning. Demands full overhead squat depth, front rack position, hip hinge competency, ankle dorsiflexion for squat mechanics, and thoracic extension for overhead stability.

 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).

 Lacrosse

Field sport combining running, stick handling, throwing, and physical contact. Demands thoracic rotation for cradling and shooting, shoulder stability for stick checks, hip mobility for dodging, and cervical resilience for contact.

 Martial Arts (Traditional)

Traditional martial arts (karate, taekwondo, kung fu) demanding hip flexibility for kicking, thoracic rotation for striking power, ankle stability for stance work, and breathing control for technique execution.

 Swimming (Competitive)

Competitive swimming demanding extreme shoulder IR/ER ratio maintenance, thoracic extension for streamline, ankle plantarflexion for kick propulsion, and bilateral breathing pattern development.
