Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

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.

 Wrestling

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

 Kickboxing

Stand-up striking sport combining punches and kicks. Demands hip ER for roundhouse kicks, thoracic rotation for hooks, ankle stability for pivoting, and shoulder endurance for guard maintenance.

 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.

 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.

 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.
