Statistics show that Cheerleading is THE most dangerous sport in the US with more youth and female injuries than any other sport. Others that come close are Rugby, Ice Hockey, and Tackle Football
No cheerleading is a sport
YES! cheerleading is so freaking awesome! If you don't think it is a sport, you are flippin crazy! Thanks!
Cheerleading has not officially become a sport yet. But we are trying to get it to the Olympics so it becomes knowen as a sport this competion started this year called ICU where olympic officials came and saw what cheerleading was all about.
I would say it's a 50/50 toss up. Obviously cheerleaders and their family and friends think it's a sport. Many people in the past few years have come to see cheerleading as a sport because competitive cheerleading has become so mainstream. However, many people who only think of traditional lead-the-crowd cheering, so not believe it is a sport
If they wernt so hard, everyone could do it and it probably wouldnt be called a sport
Cheerleading results in 66% of women's catastrophic injuries, however due to the fewer number of male participants, there are no statistics on men. In the category of Non Extreme Sports(Extreme sports being street luge, bull riding, heli skiing...) Cheerleading is currently the 3rd most dangerous sport in the world, only under Rugby and Cave Diving. This is because of the stunting and tumbling elements. These involve lifting or throwing a girl sometimes as high as 40 feet in the air. Tumbling is gymnastics which can cause injury if the technique is not proper
No. Currently cheerleading is the most dangerous women's sport in the country, with over 66% of catastrophic injuries. Its is ranked 3rd in the world, only under Rugby and Cave Diving in terms of death and catastrophic injuries. Hockey ranks between 8th and 10th
cheerleading sports mainly constist of football, basketball, comp. cheerleading, sometimes soccer and wrestiling.....pretty much any sport can have cheerleaders for them.......... CHEERLEADING IS A SPORT, YOU DONT SEE FOOTBALL IN THE OLIMPICS AND THAT IS A SPORT SO HA!!!!
The 2012 Olympic Game features 26 sports and a total of 39 disciplines however cheerleading is not one of the sports. Netball is being drafted as a possible demonstration sport at the 2012 Olympic Game in other words the probability of cheerleading to be the demonstration sport is very low. Cheerleading is not even a sport that recognized by Association of the IOC Recognized International Sports Federations (ARISF) so it is a rumor. CHEELEADING IS A SPORT
I would say that cheerleading is in fact a sport because it includes physical activity and stimulates the heart.And also, if you think about it, weight-lifting is considered a sport, and they lift weights......but cheerleaders lift PEOPLE....which requires more strength. So, YES it is! i definetly agree with that... cheer is way more of a sport than alot. if you don't like cheer, and don't think it is a sport, try it out, and then come and tell me.
to some people Cheerleading is not a real sport. its an opinion. they do lift girls. so i guess it works out the arms. you need alot of flexability and strength. it is a mixture of dance and gymnastics.
I think the most dangerous sport is Football because your getting tackled a lot and plus my brother got a concussion because of Football so I am going with Football is the most dangerous sport. I hope that answered your question.
