Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Street Workout

Outdoor bodyweight strength: shoulder stability for bar work/human flag, wrist conditioning on hard surfaces, thoracic extension for back lever, core compression for front lever.

 Boxing

Striking sport demanding shoulder endurance for guard, hip rotation power for cross/hook mechanics, ankle stability for pivoting, and cervical resilience for head movement.

 Strongman

Strength sport with odd-object lifting, carrying, pressing, and dragging. Demands hip hinge capacity for stone loads, overhead shoulder stability for log press, grip endurance, and thoracic extension for yoke and farmer's walks.

 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.

 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.

 Fencing

Linear combat sport demanding hip flexibility for the en garde stance, ankle dorsiflexion for deep lunges, thoracic rotation for parry-riposte, and asymmetric loading management from dominant-side overuse.
