Abstract
- Gymnasts and cheerleaders both need to control landings and stabilize quickly, athletic tasks that heavily involve the foot
- These sports have similar elements (tumbling, drop landings, body positions), but different foot conditions (ground surface, use of shoes)
- A comparison of athletes in both sports could give insight to the role of the foot during landings
