I can't comment on the chewing gum because I do it when I work out. I feel it controls my breathing better. I wonder if that's why athletes do it sometimes.
I chew gum when I work out too. But as a coach I wouldn't allow it. It seems like a choking hazard with all the things cheerleaders do in their routines. Plus imagine it falling out of someone's mouth onto the mat, someone tumbling into it, or it falling into someone's ponytail?! Eek! Seems like an accident waiting to happen.
