Cheerleading is a common activity where the participating participants cheer along with the team as a form of support. It may range from simple chanting to intense physical activity or to encourage certain sports teams. It is sometimes performed to encourage teams, to cheer on the favorite, to cheer on the player or to entertain the crowd. It has also been identified to be a social skill and is often taught to children from a very young age.
Although it can be an entertaining and interesting activity for younger people, cheerleading can also be a competitive activity that involves negative comments. Cheerleading can be defined as an athletic event in which participants show their support by carrying out routines or wearing clothing meant to promote cheer. Some of these routines include throwing the head backward while clapping their hands together or wearing masks to represent their school or community. These routines often involve physical contact with other participants, which some people may find to be bothersome or inappropriate.
Cheerleading meets many of the same criteria as gymnastics or other competitive sports. Although cheerleading does not test participants academically or athletically, it requires participants to be committed to both physically demanding activities and positive attitudes. If cheerleading is practiced by individuals who have little prior physical conditioning, it may be an activity that will require the participant to engage in extensive exercise routines to prepare for the competition. Cheerleading competitions are generally run by non-profit organizations that seek to find fun, creative and appealing ways for participants to show their spirit and their love of the sport. Although cheerleading meets many of the same criteria as other competitive sports, participants should be aware of the potential negative impact that some of the cheerleading competitions have the potential to have.
