1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Co 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

It appears you are making a case for physical enthusiasim by an analogy to the same (or similar) physical enthusiasim found in sports...
In the referenced scripture Paul did not do the same... "So run, that you may obtain" is in no way a reference to running around the church. It is the inner man running this race, to procure an incorruptible prize.
Unlike the outer fleshly demonstration found in sports and the cheerleaders section, emotion found in true Christian worship, is simply a by product of heartfelt praise from within. New testament worship is in spirit (inner man) and in truth (without pretension).
