Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Ice Hockey

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

 Roller Hockey

Skating-based team sport on hard surface. Hip adduction/abduction for stride, ankle stability in inline skates, groin resilience, thoracic rotation for shooting.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 Wrestling

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