Studies suggest that regular participation in a borad based strenght and conditioning training program can significantly reduce sports related injuries in adolescents. The acceptance of youth strength and conditioning by medical and fitness organizations has become almost universal. In addition to enhancing muscular strength, regular participation in a resistance training program has the potential to strengthen bones, facilitate weight control, enhance psycho-social well-being and improve cardiovascular risk profile. More recent findings suggest that a highly trained musculoskeletal system may also increase resistance to injury and possibly improve an athlete’s capacity to recover from sprains, strains and fractures.
Hydration: It is very important that you bring water to every practice.
Practices are high intensity; the cheerleaders tend to sweat profusely, leading to significant losses of both body fluids and electrolytes. A warm environment in a gym and /or poor air circulation, contributes to even higher sweat rates. Replenishing your fluids is a crucial goal during these short, intense practice sessions.
Your goal during a one-hour workout should be to replace at least 50% of the fluids you are losing. Allot of times, this means consuming 16 -32 ounces of fluid. After your workout, you should drink an amount of fluids equal to 100-150% of the fluid weight you lost.
