Yes. They work just as hard and sweat just as much as a football player.

OF COURSE!!! It's probaly the sport you have to do the most work in. Most cheerleaders train/practice 3 or more days a week. You have to run, do sit-ups, and sometimes lift weights-just like any other sport. You also have to practice tumbling all the time and it's possible pull a muscle or break a bone, you have to do jumps till you can't walk, you have to practice dances till you're sore, you have to do motions till you're sore, you have to yell till you're voice is gone, you have to hold other cheerleader up in the air with only your and another cheerleaders hand, and you have to cheer on you're team no matter what. Cheerleading is definatley a sport!!!

I guess if you compete it's a sport, but in the real sense of it, cheerleading was not designed to be a sport, it was designed to lead cheers for the team. Professional cheerleaders don't compete... so I wouldn't consider it a sport.

i think that when the cheerleaders are doing tumbling, stunts, and dance skills it can be considered a sport. when they are just saying cheer its not so much a sport.

i think it depends on what kind of cheerleading it is...competive cheerleading definetly, but NOT the kind where they just stand there and kick their feet up in the air and clap their hands. that makes me sick.

yes, competitive cheerleading requires quite a bit of athletic ability
