(Nationwide Children's Hospital) Whether rallying the crowd at a sporting event or participating in competition, cheerleading can be both fun and physically demanding.

Although integral to cheerleading routines, performing stunts can lead to injury. Stunt-related injuries accounted for more than half (60 percent) of US cheerleading injuries from June 2006 through June 2007, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
