Abstract:In brief: Previous studies have suggested that experienced rope jumpers have a reduced aerobic requirement. However, these exercisers typically train with a variety of techniques, which may affect aerobic requirements. In this study, nine experienced rope jumpers performed each of five basic techniques at the same speed. Results show that the "alternate foot" technique is the most efficient; the "crossover" technique, least efficient. A subgroup of four subjects was studied to determine if they consistently tr… Show more
“…Jumping ropes do not strengthen people as much as a strengthening exercise by lifting does, but it gives the endurance and strength which is necessary to overcome the diffi culties which may be faced during daily life [18,19]. Solis determined that rope jumping bring in tonus and strength which make muscles become good-looking [11,20].…”

“…It can also be used develop coordination of neuromuscular skills, muscular strength, and cardiovascular endurance [11,12]. The use of weighted ropes may carry additional advantages that are typically associated with core plyometrics [13].…”

“…4 Jumping rope can also be used to develop the coordination of neuromuscular skills, muscle strength, and cardiovascular endurance. 5,6 It burns calories and builds strength in the upper and lower body. [5][6][7] Movements that occur during regular rope jumping primarily include movements of the ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder joints.…”

“…5,6 It burns calories and builds strength in the upper and lower body. [5][6][7] Movements that occur during regular rope jumping primarily include movements of the ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder joints. Upper extremity conditioning might be as important as lower extremity conditioning in jumping rope.…”
The results indicate that a jump-rope training program is a good conditioning method for overhead athletes because of its potential benefits to shoulder strength.
