Frequently Asked Questions

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

Judo

Olympic throwing and ground grappling demanding grip strength for kumi-kata, hip mobility for throw entries, shoulder stability for grip fighting, and ukemi readiness.

 Gymnastics

Extreme-range sport demanding full overhead shoulder mobility for handstands and bar work, hip flexibility for splits and leaps, thoracic extension for backbends, and wrist loading capacity for weight-bearing on hands.

 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.

 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.

 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.
