Jumping rope, also known as skipping rope, is a popular activity around
the world. Basic jumping rope involves a rope held by one end in each hand
that is then spun over the head and back to the feet. When it reaches the feet
it is jumped over and spun behind the back and up towards the head again.
 Rope skipping is commonly performed as an exercise or recreational activity.
It can be done by individuals of all ages who do not have any mobility limitations
or problems with the knees, ankles, or feet. There are multiple subsets of
skipping/jump rope, including single freestyle, single speed, pairs, three-person
speed , and three-person freestyle.

• Beaded ropes are an excellent option for beginners to
learn synchronization, but they do not offer much
speed or durability.

• Plastic and PVC ropes are significantly faster and

more durable than beaded ropes, which makes them
suitable for both beginners and advanced athletes as
well as outdoor use.

• Leather ropes are the fastest of all options and are the
best choice for advanced athletes whose main aim is
to improve speed.
 Use your height to find the right rope length.
• To check whether the rope is the
correct length, stand on the center
of the rope, and see where the
handles reach.
• If the handles reach your waist,
the length is correct.
• If the handles are considerably
higher than your waist, the rope is
too long, and if they are too far
below your waist, the rope is too
short

for participants and spectators alike, and not difficult to learn.
 Rules of skipping ropes
2. Safety Warning and Tips Jumping rope is a strenuous activity that places strain on the
body, and also increases the chances of injury due to falling down. Running with a jump
rope adds to both the impact pressure and risk of injury. Exercise on a smooth, flat
surface. Hold the jump handles loosely in your hands, and in the event of a tangle,
release the handles to reduce the chances of pulling yourself down. Children should be
supervised.

3. General Tips on The Basic Bounce The proper rope length helps you optimize both
your technique and performance. To set the proper rope length, place one foot on top of
the middle of the rope and hold the handles up together evenly so that they reach a
person’s chin or shoulder.

5. Combined Alternate Step and Jogging This exercise involves alternating steps while
moving forward and develops the technique used in Jump Rope Sprint racing. Once you
feel comfortable with the Alternate Step exercise, you start moving forward by
concentration on jumping over the rope with each stride. Go as slow as needed until it
you become comfortable with your timing.

6. More Routines Combined Two-Foot Bounce and Alternating Steps This exercise
involves switching between Two-Foot Bounce and Alternating Steps every four
revolutions of the rope. In other words, bounce four times on both feet, then bounce four
times on alternating feet, and then repeat the sequence.
