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

Soccer / Football

Multi-directional field sport with highest groin injury incidence. Demands hip adduction resilience, ankle DF for cutting, hamstring length for stride, and thoracic rotation.

 Kayaking / Canoeing

Paddling sport demanding thoracic rotation for stroke power, shoulder stability in repetitive overhead-adjacent patterns, hip flexor management from sustained seated posture, and cervical mobility for water reading.

 Mixed Martial Arts

Multi-discipline combat sport combining striking, wrestling, and grappling. Demands hip IR/ER for kicking and grappling, thoracic rotation for power and scrambles, cervical resilience for takedown defense.

 Archery

Precision sport demanding sustained shoulder isometric endurance for draw hold, scapular stability for aiming, thoracic extension for bow posture, and cervical rotation for target acquisition.

 Calisthenics

Bodyweight strength: shoulder mobility for handstands/muscle-ups, thoracic extension for overhead, wrist strength for handstand loading, hip flexor length for hollow body.

 Powerlifting

Maximum-strength sport requiring squat depth (hip below knee), bench press arch with shoulder stability, and deadlift hip hinge from floor. Assessment targets the mobility prerequisites for each competition lift: hip flexion/rotation for squat, shoulder mobility for bench, and hip hinge depth for deadlift.
