(1) materials for skipping rope
Jumping rope materials on the market generally include plastic, nylon, cotton thread, hemp rope, cloth rope and so on.
1. Plastic rope is strong, although it is not easy to twist, but it feels too light, suitable for singles and beginners.
2. Nylon rope is strong and light, but it feels bad when thrown, and it is not easy to throw when many people jump, so it is more suitable for single use.
3. The cotton rope is moderate in hardness and weight, feels good when thrown, does not hurt when whipped, and is not fast, which is more suitable for novices and the elderly.
4. The advantages and disadvantages of hemp rope are basically the same as those of cotton rope, and rubber sleeve should also be selected.
It is difficult and laborious to jump on the rope, but the exercise effect is good, and the rope will not grind its hands for a long time, which is more suitable for young people with fast frequency and high requirements for exercise intensity.
(2) the handle of skipping rope
Many ropes have handles at both ends. The handle is light and thin, and the tail end of the handle body is slightly thick, which is a better choice, so that when shaking, there will be no force, more jumping patterns and faster speed. In addition, it is best that the joint between the handle and the rope can rotate freely enough to ensure that the rope will not kink.
(3) Length of skipping rope
When skipping rope, you should also pay attention to the length of the rope. After the average person jumps up, the height of the rope thrown upward is about 20 cm from the top of the head, which is a more suitable length.
