An assessment of injuries in college cheerleading,[url=http://www3.airnet.ne.jp/rio/bbs/sunbbs.cgi?mode=form&no=138&page=2%3C/a%3E]There's concern that he could[/url],[url=http://www.secadis.fr/category/air-jordan-4/]air jordan 4[/url]
over a million participants between elementary school and the professional sports levels.1 A large portion of college cheerleading skills calls for the smaller members of the squad to either stand on the shoulders
or hands of their partners and to be tossed in the air at soaring heights (flyers), ending in precipitous drops into the arms
of one or more of the other squad members (catchers). It is axiomatic that an error on the part of either the flyer or catcher(s)
can result in injuries ranging from mild bruising to severe trauma or death,[url=http://www.mediargo.it/category/hogan-outlet-milano/]hogan outlet milano[/url]. A study comparing injury rates among sports found
that cheerleading led all sports in days lost per injury.2
The National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury at the University of North Carolina3 has presented athletic injury data and defines a catastrophic injury as non fatal resulting in permanent severe functional
brain or spinal cord disability,[url=http://www.paoloasti.it/category/hogan-outlet-milano/]hogan outlet milano[/url],[url=http://www.havr.ru/cgi-bin/rub/detail.cgi]The Superconscious cannot be [/url]. The Center further defines direct injury as resulting directly from performing the specific
activities of a sport,[url=http://www.mzybxcs.com/a/xinwenzhongxin/bensizhuanlan/2013/0730/112.html]The real person to blame here is the Principal[/url],[url=http://www.secadis.fr/category/jordan-pas-cher/]jordan pas cher[/url], and indirect injury as caused by systemic failure as a result of exertion while participating in aCatastrophic injuries have increased over the years,[url=http://www.mamiecochonne.fr/chaussure-louboutin.html]chaussure louboutin[/url], presumably because of an increase in the gymnastic like stunts currently
common in cheerleading.4 For example, in 1982 1983 there was one reported female catastrophic injury, whereas during the past 18 years there has been
an average of 6.1 a year. Furthermore,[url=http://www.hotelseltzthann.fr/air-jordan-4-retro.html]air jordan4 retro[/url], the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that 4954 hospital emergency room
visits in 1980 were for cheerleading injuries. By 1994, the number of emergency visits increased to about 16 000,4 and by 2002 the number was estimated at 22 603.5 The increase in injuries is due in part to the increase in the number of cheerleaders and in part to the evolution of theBetween 1982 and 2001,[url=http://www.secadis.fr/category/nike-air-jordan/]nike air jordan[/url], female college and high school athletes sustained 75 direct and 36 indirect fatalities and catastrophic
injures.4 Of the 75 direct injuries, 50 were sustained by high school and 25 by college girls. Twenty five of the 50 high school direct
injuries were sustained by cheerleaders,[url=http://www.hotelseltzthann.fr/basket-air-jordan.html]basket air jordan[/url], nine (18%) by gymnasts,[url=http://www.ngcommit.fr/air-max-tn-pas-cher/]air max tn pas cher[/url], four (8%) by track athletes, and the remainder spread over
six other sports. Seventeen (68%) of the 25 college direct injuries were sustained by cheerleaders,[url=http://www.ngcommit.fr/nike-tn-en-ligne/]nike tn en ligne[/url], two (8%) by gymnasts,
two (8%) in field hockey,[url=http://www.mamiecochonne.fr/louboutin-pas-cher-homme.html]louboutin pas cher homme[/url], and the remainder spread over four other sports. Clearly, cheerleading is an area in need of closerWhereas other school sports have injury report criteria and injury databases compiled by the National Athletic Trainers' Association
(NATA) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) on which to draw, cheerleading injuries are not equally monitored.
The NCAA Injury Surveillance System provides current data on injuries of 16 intercollegiate sports,[url=http://www.hotelseltzthann.fr/nike-jordan-pas-cher.html]nike jordan pas cher[/url], but not cheerleading.
The purpose of this study was to randomly sample college cheerleading squads in order to collect and compile selected injury
