Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the American
Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors (AACCA) certification in
reducing injuries associated with cheerleading. Participants were selected from a
list of AACCA certified coaches in the state of Florida and through state, county,
and district cheerleading coach directories in Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. A total of approximately 575
questionnaires asking about number and types of injuries in 2003 -2004,
certifications held and other relevant information were distributed. One hundred
and two questionnaires were returned for a response rate of 16.5%. Contrary to
our hypothesis, AACCA certification was not associated with fewer reported
injuries. In contrast, holding other cheerleading certifications was negatively
correlated with total injuries suggesting that other certifications, but not AACCA
certification, are more effective in reducing injuries.
