Skipping rope is a simple and effective way of exercise, which can not only improve the coordination, endurance and explosive power of human body, but also accelerate the metabolism of human body and effectively improve the health level and cardiopulmonary function. As a traditional fitness exercise, skipping rope has gradually become a popular exercise for national fitness.

The basic action of skipping rope is that both feet jump alternately, that is, the left foot lands, the right foot starts to jump upwards, then the right foot lands, the left foot jumps upwards, and so on. This is the most basic skipping action, and we can change the difficulty of skipping by different factors such as frequency, jumping height and jumping speed.

In practice, skipping can be roughly divided into three types: speed skipping, skill skipping and fitness skipping. Speed jump refers to the pursuit of jump speed and jump times. In international competitions, speed skipping is one of the most important events. Speed skipping requires high speed, large elasticity and accurate jumping control.

Skill skipping is to show the skills and personal style of the skipper through various skipping movements and skills. Skill skipping pays attention to the standardization and accuracy of movements, especially in difficult skills such as somersault and jumping around, which requires long-term and high-frequency practice for different skills to show a stable level of movements.

Fitness skipping refers to skipping rope as a fitness method, which emphasizes the whole body movement of the skipping rope. Skipping rope requires the coordination of all parts of the body, which can effectively improve the endurance, explosiveness and coordination of the body. Especially in some aerobic fitness courses, skipping is also widely used as an effective way to mobilize the body.

Benefits of skipping rope

1, improve cardiopulmonary function: skipping rope can train cardiopulmonary function, increase oxygen intake, improve human metabolic rate, increase cardiac output and vital capacity.

2, body shaping: skipping is a heavyweight exercise that consumes fat. The movements used in skipping rope and the contact between the soles of the feet and the ground can stimulate various muscle groups, which is helpful to strengthen the core, improve the posture and shape the body.

3. Improve the sense of coordination and balance: Skipping training can promote the coordination between the left and right brains and train the sense of physical balance, which requires improving the coordination ability of the body and the skills of maintaining physical balance.

4. Enhance endurance and explosiveness: Jumping rope can enhance the endurance and explosiveness of the body, especially in speed skipping and fitness skipping, which requires fast skipping and control of jumping height, which has a great exercise effect on the endurance and explosiveness of the body.
