Frequently Asked Questions

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