Generally, the diameter of the combat rope is 3.8cm to 6.3cm, and the length of the combat rope is about 9m to15 mm. The longer the combat rope, the more difficult it is. When choosing a fighting rope, you should choose a rope that suits your weight. You need to choose the right fighting rope according to your own strength and palm size. For most people, it is enough to choose a fighting rope with a length of 9m and a diameter of 3.8 mm
How to choose the battle rope?
As far as the domestic fitness environment is concerned, the battle rope is still a relatively new prop, but it will inevitably become the standard of all kinds of gyms and studios in the future. Readers who can't reach it don't have to worry. It's less than 200 to buy a battle rope. Compared with the training value it provides, I personally think it is cost-effective.
There are two common main battle rope materials in the market, one is chemical fiber (mostly polyester, but also nylon and other slightly expensive materials) and the other is hemp rope. The difference between the two is that the chemical fiber rope will be hard at first, and it will become soft gradually with the frequency of swinging, and it will become soft after swinging for 2 hours. Hemp rope is light and suitable for women, but it is easy to lose fiber. Whether it is hemp rope or chemical fiber rope, you can add extra braided protective sleeve to prolong the service life and prevent the fiber from falling off.
What are the advantages of battle rope?
1. The battle rope has little effect on the body.
When using barbells, dumbbells and other items for free weight training, if the understanding of movements is not in place, compensation will occur, which is likely to cause acute or chronic sports injuries. When using the battle rope, most of the strength generated by the trainer is transmitted through the waves formed by the battle rope, unlike free training, which requires the joints to bear a great load. This determines that the battle rope is very suitable for fitness training. Let's just say that throwing yourself out with a battle rope is a rather difficult technical job.
2. The direction of the fighting rope is changeable.
In free weight training, the resistance provided by dumbbell barbells is vertical downward, so most movements are also anti-gravity movements. In addition to gravity, a large part of the resistance of the fighting rope is opposite to the movement direction of the trainer when throwing the rope, which can exercise the rotation ability of the trunk (core muscle), which is why many soldiers include the fighting rope in the training plan.
