    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Athletic Training

    Background:

    • Cheerleading's athletic demands are frequently underestimated.
    • This oversight can hinder the development of targeted injury prevention strategies.
    • Recognizing cheerleaders as athletes is essential for their health and safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To advocate for the recognition of cheerleaders as athletes.
    • To provide recommendations for preparticipation physical examinations specific to cheerleaders.
    • To emphasize the importance of evaluating cheerleaders' development, nutrition, and risk factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on cheerleading demands and injuries.
    • Analysis of current preparticipation physical examination protocols.
    • Development of evidence-based recommendations for cheerleaders.

    Main Results:

    • Cheerleading involves significant athletic demands comparable to other recognized sports.
    • Current preparticipation physicals may not adequately address the unique risks faced by cheerleaders.
    • Specific evaluations for physical development, nutritional status, and injury risk are necessary.

    Conclusions:

    • Cheerleaders must be acknowledged as athletes to ensure appropriate medical care.
    • Preparticipation physicals need tailored components to assess cheerleaders' specific needs.
    • Comprehensive evaluation of development, nutrition, and risk is critical for injury prevention in cheerleaders.
