4、A Competitive Sport

Cheerleading

Over these years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time

cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal

is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be

considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of

entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the

teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common

thing for gymnasts, so it’s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading.

Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including

their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This

is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions

that require strength and working with other teammates.

Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under

which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and

sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s

why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.

Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be

completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the

cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond

the limit of time is invalid.

Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the

hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research,

competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to

women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other

sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling

cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the

teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas
