Study Notes

Cheerdance

Students participating in cheerdance regularly experience reduced anxiety and increased confidence.
Cheerdancers see improved endurance, balance, and coordination over time.
Cheerdance routines involve specific motions like "High V" (V-shape above head, straight fingers, palms out), "Low V" (extended downward V-shape), "T" (arms extended to the sides), "Daggers" (elbows bent at 45 degrees in front of shoulders), "Touchdown" (arms parallel, fists closed), and "Low Touchdown" (arms extended straight down, parallel).
"Clap" motion involves clapping hands in front of chest with enthusiasm.
Stunt routines depend on flyer safety, focusing on height, and consistent timing/formation.
Evaluating routines involves assessing execution and form of skills.
Routine fluidity is judged by skill effectiveness.
Fundamental move: round-off back handspring.

Target Heart Rate (THR)

Knowing your target heart rate (THR) improves cardiovascular fitness.
THR training strengthens the cardiovascular system.
THR exercise progress tracking is simpler.
Exercise at THR increases cardiovascular strength.
THR is personalized for individual fitness goals.
Determining your resting heart rate (RHR) is necessary to calculate your THR.
