Physiological Responses of Elite Cheerleaders During Training and Simulated Competition Routines
Cheersport training leads to a low overall metabolic demand but is interspersed with short, high-intensity "intervals." The highest intensities were achieved during full-outs, indicating the anaerobic nature of competition routines. Therefore, cheerleaders should train both the aerobic and the anaerobic systems to increase recovery capacity between drills and to maximize anaerobic power during competition.
