Triathlon

Multi-discipline endurance sport combining swimming, cycling, and running in sequence. Demands shoulder IR/ER ratio for swim, thoracic extension for bike-to-run transition, hip mobility across three distinct movement patterns, and ankle resilience for the cumulative impact of sequential loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

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