The choreography which is based on students'physical and psychological characteristics can also enhance the effect of cheerleading exercises and promote the harmonious development of students'physical and psychological health.By means of documentation, live observation, interview and video analysis, the author based the research on the competitive choreography of the first, second and third prize winners in the 2008 National Cheerleading Championship (Pompons group) and probed into the theme, value for exercises and design of choreography. Then, the author gave suggestions as follows:First, with safe as the priority in choreography, coaches should appropriately arrange the degree of difficulty, preferring high-quality accomplishment to choreography with difficulty and quantity.Second, action designing should follow the physiological law, such as lowering shoulders, throwing out chests, keeping waists upright, trying to force from the distance, exerting with harmonious cooperation of different muscle groups, all of which will develop physical quality in an all-round way.Third, coaches should discover campus characteristics, mixing ethnic elements into the theme and design of costumes and actions. Special emphasis should be put on cooperative actions among team members, using aesthetical principles such as contrast, unity, structure, harmony and diversity to display dynamic pattern and sharpen stage effects.Fourth, coaches should encourage male students to participate in cheerleading, taking advantage of males'physical conditions and combining masculine beauty to girls'tenderness.Fifth, coaches should strengthen professional learning, by observing competitions and video teaching materials to learn more sources of actions,developping musical accomplishment; by taking active part in cheerleading training to improve the ability of choreography.
