Objective of the study was to test benefits of the annual training cycle design model for elite cheerleaders at the excellence stage. Subject to the study were 18-23 cheerleaders (n=28) split up into Experimental Group (EG) and Reference Group (RG) of 14 people each, with the EG trained under the new yearly training cycle model designed by the authors. The EG training system was different in the numbers of training sessions, their durations, and application of the efficient special physical and technical training methods and tools. The study makes the first attempt to systematize the training process parameters in the proposed proportions for periods in the annual training cycle. The model offers special sets of exercises to rate the special physical and technical qualities and skills of the cheerleaders at the excellence stage; and special rating criteria to rate the body conditioning and special physical progress in the modern cheerleading.

Keywords: cheerleading, training load, special training in annual cycle, microcycle, mesocycle.
