Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Climbing / Bouldering

Vertical sport demanding finger tendon health, shoulder stability in overhead and off-axis positions, hip flexibility for high-step and flagging movements, and antagonist muscle balance to prevent pull-dominant postural deformity.

 Ice Hockey

High-velocity skating requiring hip adduction/abduction for stride, groin resilience, thoracic rotation for shooting, and ankle DF for skating posture.

 Wrestling

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

 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.

 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.

 Skateboarding

Balance and impact sport demanding ankle stability for board control, hip mobility for trick execution, thoracic rotation for body rotation tricks, and wrist resilience for fall absorption.
