new YORK (Reuters Health) – a group of Pediatricians of
United States recommended designating the activities of cheerleaders
as a sports official, mainly to prevent injuries
that for doctors, can be serious.
other recommendations for the cheerleaders include the
preseason physicals approval, access to
coaches of strength and physical conditioning, and the
prohibition to compete or participate in activities with a
lesion in the head.
“felt the need for guides that them
ensure these girls a safe practice”, she said
Cynthia LaBella, co-author of the recommendations of the Academy
American Pediatrics (AAP, by its English name).
girls are 96 percent of the 3.6 million of
cheerleading over six years in United States. only in the
< p> secondary schools in 2009 had 400,000 cheerleaders.
at the secondary level, the AAP believes that the cheerleaders
suffer less than 1 injury by each 1,000 “exhibitions
sports” female. This is less than the 8.5 lesions by
each 1,000 gymnastic exhibitions or 5.3/1,000 exhibitions
in football.
still, the medical literature shows that cheerleaders
they have a disproportionately high risk of suffering injury
serious, such as skull fractures and injuries of column
vertebral.
La AAP calculates that the cheerleaders suffered 65 percent
lesions in secondary schools and the 71 athletes by
% of injuries in college athletes registered in
the period 1982-2009
“in many States and at the University, the activity of the
< p""> cheerleading ist als Sport nicht offiziell anerkannt und
Warum gibt es einige Sicherheitsmechanismen, die sie mit
haben”, sagte LaBella, außerordentlicher Professor der Schule
Feinberg der Medizin der Northwestern University, Chicago.
für die AAP, gehören solche Mechanismen der Zugang zu
physischen Ausbilder, Gesundheitswesen, bessere Ausstattung und
Stunden Praxis und Trainer Zertifikate. derzeit
29 Staaten USA erkennen die Praxis als ein
Sport Schule sekundär. aber die National Association of
collegiate Athletik nicht erkennt es als ein College Sport.

“Promote them most of these recommendations from
long ago”, said Jim Lord, executive director of the
American Association of coaches and administrators of
animation (DIFFERENTE, by its acronym in English), in Memphis.
but it also noted some points in debate. in particular,
referred to does not consider that the animation is a sport
because many cheerleaders not competing regularly, while
some States or organizations dictate.
also mentioned that the recommendation by the AAP to
pyramids or breaks only on rubber floors foam or with
Springs, what Lord would interfere with the balance of the
cheerleading. “That increase injuries dramatically”,
said.
but Lord and LaBella said that there should not be
problems to solve these differences. “we are thinking
e””n (Cheerleader) Sicherheit und wissen, dass DIFFERENTE auch
es vor. das sind Punkte, denen wir schnell zustimmen”,
sagte LaBella.
