Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

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.

 Table Tennis

Precision racket sport requiring rapid wrist and forearm rotation, asymmetric hip loading from a crouched stance, thoracic rotation for forehand loops, and cervical tracking for ball-following at high speed.

 Gymnastics

Extreme-range sport demanding full overhead shoulder mobility for handstands and bar work, hip flexibility for splits and leaps, thoracic extension for backbends, and wrist loading capacity for weight-bearing on hands.

 Pickleball

Fast-growing racket sport demanding shoulder endurance for dinking, wrist mobility for paddle control, lateral movement for coverage, and hip hinge for kitchen play.

 Squash

Explosive racket sport in confined court. Demands thoracic rotation for shots, hip IR/ER for lunging, ankle DF for deep lunges, shoulder flexibility for overhead shots.

 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.
