How does skipping rope count as aerobic exercise
Skipping rope is aerobic exercise.

Because skipping rope has regularity, skipping rope with moderate or above exercise intensity (75%-80% of the maximum heart rate) is equivalent to jogging for 90 minutes each time if skipping rope takes a long time (more than 15 minutes), which is already standard aerobic exercise.

Benefits of aerobic exercise

The purpose of aerobic exercise is to enhance cardiopulmonary endurance. In the process of exercise, due to muscle contraction, a lot of energy and oxygen are needed, and the demand for oxygen increases. The number of heart contractions, the amount of blood pumped out each time, the number of breaths and the degree of lung expansion all increase.

Therefore, when the exercise continues and the muscles contract for a long time, the heart and lungs must strive to provide oxygen to the muscles and take away the waste in the muscles. And this constant demand can improve the endurance of the heart and lungs. With the increase of cardiopulmonary endurance, the body can engage in longer or higher-intensity exercise, and it is less likely to get tired.
