Methods: The subjects are 18 cheerleaders from a private university in New Taipei City who have averagely 2-year experience of cheerleading. They were divided evenly into experimental group and control group (age 19.94 ± 0.91, height 168.08 ± 9.65, weight 66.21 ± 14.15). The experimental group trained twice a week continuously for eight weeks on cheerleading jump training. Both groups tested on balance, 30 seconds and 60 seconds sit-ups, a standing jump and standing triple jumps before and after test. The test result data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. Results: 1. Experimental group in soft ground balance test with eyes closed has significantly improved (p <.05). There are significant differences (p <.05) between two groups as well. 2. For abdominal muscle’s strength, 30 seconds sit-ups test among the groups both have significant differences. On the other hand, the experimental group has significant improvement on 60 seconds sit-ups and has remarkable differences compared to control group (p <.05). 3. The result of standing jump tests do not have significant differences. Conclusion: This study of cheerleading jump training could enhance the athletes' soft ground balance with eyes closed, abdominal muscle’s strength and muscular endurance. The above capacities may also enhance their proprioception and body control.
