The Science of
Cheerleading

Introduction to Science of
Cheerleading

I picked this sport
for my science
sports project
because I like
cheerleading, I’ve
tried it before and
even made the
team. Cheerleading
requires a lot of
exercise and stunts.
Potential Energy

Potential energy is
stored energy. An
example of potential
energy in cheerleading
is when the cheerleader
is getting ready to run
to do a front hand
spring or back hand
spring.
Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is
energy in motion .
An example of
Kinetic energy in
cheerleading are
bouncing, Jumping,
Running.
Digestive System

The digestive
system digests food
to give our body
energy. When
cheerleaders eat it
prevents them from
getting weak.
Respiratory System

Respiratory system
is what helps us
breath, It helps us
get oxygen into our
body.
Circulatory System

Circulatory System is
what helps all the
blood in our body
move and it helps
our cells get oxygen.
Excretory System

Excretory System is
what gets the sweat
and the heat out of
our body.
Muscular System

The Muscular
System gives us
strength to move
our body.
Cheerleaders need
the Muscular system
to Run, Flip, and
Jump.
Electric Energy

Electric Energy is
the charges that
makes electricity
flow. With electric
energy we are able
to see cheerleading
contest on television
and on the internet.
Energy Transformation

Energy
Transformation is a
energy that turns
into another energy.
One example is
when food turns into
kinetic energy and
sweat becomes heat
anergy.
Conserving Energy
Conserving Energy can
help athletes when
the cheerleader
takes a long nap
before the big
event, Also when
they sit down to
relax.
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion

Newton’s 1st Law says
that an object in motion
will want to stay in
motion and object at
rest will want to stay at
rest unless acted upon
an outside force. For
example a cheerleader
would would fall if she’s
not balanced.
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion

Newton’s 2nd Law says
that the greater the
force acting on an
object, the greater the
acceleration, or change
in the object’s motion.
For example the
stronger the jumper
kicks of the ground the
higher she/he will go.
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion

Newton’s 3rd Law says
that For every action
there is an equal and
opposite reaction. For
example when the force
of the cheerleaders go
down they would have
more strength to jump
up.
Conclusion

Cheerleading is related
to science because
when cheerleaders our
bodies get more
strength, and our body
needs the energy to
move, Jump an dance.
Electric energy helps us
watch all the
competition done with
cheerleading.
