Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Surfing

Ocean sport demanding shoulder paddling endurance, thoracic extension for pop-up mechanics, hip mobility for bottom turns, ankle stability for board control, and rapid prone-to-standing transitions.

 Cricket

Bat-and-ball sport with asymmetric demands from bowling, batting, and fielding. Bowlers require thoracic rotation and shoulder IR management, batters need hip rotation and thoracic mobility, fielders demand lateral movement and throwing capacity.

 Golf

Rotational-dominant sport demanding asymmetric hip mobility, thoracic rotation, lead-side weight transfer, and wrist control. Assessment targets the hip IR/ER ratio (critical for X-factor), thoracic rotation capacity, lead foot pressure dynamics, and wrist ROM for club face control.

 Olympic Weightlifting

Maximum-power sport requiring full overhead squat depth for the snatch, front rack position for the clean, ankle dorsiflexion for deep squat mechanics, and thoracic extension for overhead stability under maximal loads.

 Track & Field (Sprints)

Linear-speed sport demanding maximal hip extension power, ankle stiffness for ground contact, hamstring length for swing-phase mechanics, and thoracic rotation for arm-leg coupling.

 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.
