Why do you have to prevent injury in seizure patient?
A patient prone to seizures cannot protect themselves. A seizure causes falls. Once the seizure is underway, the patient needs (primarily) the head and airway protected. Seizure patients may also inhale saliva or vomit, which can then impair breathing.
What are cheerleading try-outs like?
Cheerleading tryouts are similar to any tryouts for anything else. I mean really you go to a meeting prior to tryouts where the coaches usually explain everything that you need to know for tryouts. Like, what you have to wear, what to bring, when and where it is, and all that info.
Tryouts itself is really where you learn a number of cheers (usually 2-4) and then a dance. You also learn proper techniques for arm motions, tumbling, and of course, jumps. Spiriting is also something they will review with you. It lasts for a few days.
When it comes to the actually Tryout day, you group with a few girls and perform in front of the coaches (or judges) and get scored. Then its a waiting game to find out if you made the team.
Hope that helps :]

Many cheers can be found online. You can either change them up to suit you or you can use the beat to come up with your own. you can also order uniforms online. If you do not have time to wait on the shipment to arrive you may contact your local print shop to see if they can do it. Also at your local fabric store they have the supplies, and patterns to make the uniforms. As a former cheerleader I can offer you this piece of advice... know your vowels. If you resite your vowels and hold your hand at your diapharm ,if the top of your stomach moves you are using what we called a cheer voice. It helps carry your voice further. Also, dance routines can be easy if you just take a couple moves from each cheerleader, and add them together. Cheer music can be found at your local music shop.
Typically, tumbling is preferred in high school cheerleading. However, a back walkover is more than many people can do and will likely increase your chances of making the squad. High School squads will often train their cheerleaders during practice to do the other stunts required if you initially make the team.
Cheerleading IS a sport, always has been a sport & always will be a sport. No matter what anyone says, you work JUST as hard as you would if you were in any other sport. It's hard work & takes a lot of time. yeah totaly because if it was easy they would call it foot ball or soccer..or even base ball

Sex Appeal.
Pretty scantily clad girls jumping around at a football game.
1970s
In the early 1970s, Cowboys manager Tex Schramm decided to change their image to boost attendance. At first he simply tried hiring professional models, but that did not work due to their lack of athletic ability. He then knew that he needed professional dancers with stamina who would be able to perform through an entire game. He worked with local choreographer Texie Waterman, who was charged with auditioning and training an entirely new and unique squad which would combine an attractive appearance, athletic ability, and talent as performers.[citation needed]
This group, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, first appeared on the sidelines during the 1972-1973 NFL season.[citation needed]
Even greater national attention came in 1978 when the squad was on two network TV specials, NBC Rock-n-Roll Sports Classicand The Osmond Brothers Special on ABC. In 1978, they had their own hour-long special to launch the season for Monday Night Football.[citation needed]
On 14 January 1979, the made-for-TV movie The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (1979) aired. Starring Jane Seymour, it had a 48% share of the national television audience.[2][3]
Not everyone can be a flyer. If you are a flyer you shouldn't be as tall as your bases, front, and especially your back. You can be as heavier than you bases or backs. So not everyone can be a flyer
