In ancient times, it was called "jumping a hundred ropes", but now it is called "skipping rope". Skipping rope is a very old sport, which originated in ancient China. In ancient times, skipping rope was called "jumping a hundred ropes" and was a popular children's game. It was originally used as a part of military training to improve soldiers' physical quality and flexibility. Later, it gradually spread and became a folk entertainment project. In ancient times, skipping rope was generally made of silk thread, hemp rope or animal skin, with different lengths and thicknesses. The two ends are tied together to form a ring, and the player shows various skills by jumping, flipping and swinging the rope.

In some ancient literature and poems of China, the game of jumping a hundred ropes is also mentioned. For example, there is a description of children skipping rope in the Ming Dynasty literature: "Two boys lead the rope slightly, such as white, and one boy jumps in the light, saying it is jumping in the white rope." It can be seen that skipping rope was already a very popular children's game at that time. Except China, the forms and names of skipping rope are different all over the world, but the core play is basically the same.

Generally speaking, in ancient times, it was called "jumping a hundred steps rope", and in modern times it is called skipping rope. It is a form of exercise with a long history, which not only has rich cultural connotation, but also has high value for physical exercise and development.
