Fencing

Linear combat sport demanding hip flexibility for the en garde stance, ankle dorsiflexion for deep lunges, thoracic rotation for parry-riposte, and asymmetric loading management from dominant-side overuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Kickboxing

Stand-up striking sport combining punches and kicks. Demands hip ER for roundhouse kicks, thoracic rotation for hooks, ankle stability for pivoting, and shoulder endurance for guard maintenance.

 Skiing / Snowboarding

Snow sport demanding knee stability for ACL injury prevention, hip strength for turn initiation, ankle dorsiflexion for boot-locked mechanics, and core anti-rotation capacity for moguls and variable terrain.

 Volleyball

Court sport with repetitive overhead shoulder loading (spiking, serving), high landing impact demanding ankle stability, knee valgus prevention during jump-landing, and vertical jump power requirements.

 Wrestling

Grappling sport demanding explosive hip power for takedowns, cervical strength for bridging, shoulder stability for underhooks, and ankle DF for penetration step depth.

 Field Hockey

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

 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.
