Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Sailing

Endurance sport with sustained isometric hiking demands, shoulder loading for sheet handling, thoracic rotation for tacking, and grip endurance for helm and line work.

 Lacrosse

Field sport combining running, stick handling, throwing, and physical contact. Demands thoracic rotation for cradling and shooting, shoulder stability for stick checks, hip mobility for dodging, and cervical resilience for contact.

 Track & Field (Jumps)

Explosive jumping events (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault) demanding ankle stiffness for takeoff, hip extension power for flight, thoracic extension for technique, and knee resilience for landing forces.

 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Ground-dominant grappling art requiring extreme hip mobility for guard retention, cervical resilience for choke defense, grip endurance for gi/no-gi control, and thoracic rotation for sweeps and submission setups.

 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.

 Motocross / Motorcycle Racing

High-impact motor sport demanding grip and forearm endurance (arm pump prevention), cervical resilience for G-forces and impacts, hip mobility for bike control, and thoracic extension for riding posture.
