    ENG: Physical training is a central aspect of cheerleading preparation. However, owing to the absence of specific regulatory documents in Ukraine, particularly the cheerleading curriculum at the State University of Youth and Sports, the selection of control tests for assessing the physical fitness of cheerleaders was based on related sports, such as gymnastics and acrobatics. Additionally, the tests took into account the roles performed by cheerleaders on the gymnastics floor (cheerleader–flyers and cheerleader–bases). Object: The study focused on the physical preparation of cheerleading athletes. Participants and Research Methods: The research used an analysis of scientific and methodical literature, program–normative documents, control testing, generalization, systematization, and mathematical statistical methods. Participated in 100 cheerleaders athletes (girls) aged 7-8 years of Sports Club «Angels» (Kуіv, Ukraine), Higher School of Cheerleading (Odesa, Ukraine), and All-Ukrainian Sports Club «Triumph» (Dnipro, Ukraine), who take part in competitions in the nomination «Cheer All Female». They compete in the «Cheer All Female» nomination. During the research, group A (n=49) comprised cheerleader-flyers, and group B (n=51) consisted of cheerleader-base. Participants of all groups took part in control testing to determine the level of physical preparation. The analysis of the research results was carried out at the general group and intra-group levels. Results: Summarizing the obtained data on the level of physical preparedness of cheerleaders at the initial preparation stage, we conclude that: 10% of cheerleaders have a «low» level, 22% have a «below average» level, 31% have an «average» level, 31% have an «above average» level, and 6% have a «high» level of physical preparedness. Correlation analysis between indicators of physical fitness revealed 24 correlations (12 connections for flyer cheerleaders and 12 base cheerleaders). Reliable correlations were determined in 13 cases at p≤0.05-0.001. Correlation analysis of indicators of physical fitness demonstrates a chaotic nature. Conclusions. The determined indicators of physical preparation indicate an insufficient level of development of physical abilities. The obtained results provide an opportunity for the coach to improve the level of development of the physical qualities of athletes-cheerleaders during training.
