There is a method to choose a skipping rope

Many people like skipping rope because it is an economical and affordable way to exercise. There are many types of skipping ropes on the market, but how do you choose a skipping rope that belongs to you? Let me tell you a little trick!

At present, the materials of skipping ropes on the market generally include plastic, nylon, cotton thread, hemp rope, cloth rope and rubber. Among them, the plastic rope is relatively strong and is not easy to twist, but it feels too light and is suitable for single people and beginners. Nylon rope is strong and light, but it feels poor to swing. It is not easy to swing when multiple people are jumping, so it is more suitable for one person. The cotton rope is of moderate hardness and lightness, feels good when swung, does not hurt when it hits the body, and does not jump too fast. It is more suitable for beginners and the elderly. But it should be noted that cotton ropes are prone to breakage due to excessive friction with the ground, so it is not advisable to jump too fast. Alternatively, you can choose a rope with a rubber sheath wrapped in the middle. The advantages and disadvantages of hemp rope are basically the same as those of cotton rope, and you should also choose one with a rubber sleeve. Cloth rope jumping is more difficult and strenuous, but the exercise effect is good and the hands will not be irritated after jumping with cloth rope for a long time. It is more suitable for young people who have a fast frequency and high requirements for exercise intensity. The rubber rope is relatively strong and wear-resistant, but it feels too heavy and is difficult to swing. It is easy to twist if you jump too much and may cause you to trip. It is more suitable for multi-person groups, such as long rope skipping.

Today, many ropes have handles attached to both ends. A thin and light handle with a slightly thicker end is a better choice, so that it will not lose power when shaking, and you can dance a variety of tricks and dance a little faster. In addition, the connection between the handle and the rope should be able to rotate freely enough to ensure that the rope will not twist. When skipping rope, you should also pay attention to the length of the rope. Generally, when a person jumps up, the height of the swung rope should be about 20 cm above the head, which is a more suitable length.

Rope skipping is not suitable for everyone due to its strong continuity of movements. Older people, obese people, and patients with heart disease and high blood pressure should not choose this sport to avoid overloading the body, which may lead to a recurrence of old illness or injury.

In addition, the skipping time should not be too long, and it is not advisable to jump too high or too fast. To achieve better exercise results, you should try to beat rhythmically, such as 100-120 times per minute, and persist for 3-4 minutes each time. Generally, a single exercise should not exceed 10 minutes, and then you should rest for a while. The longest exercise time is about half an hour.

After choosing the skipping rope that suits you, you should pay attention to the way of exercise. Not everyone is suitable for skipping rope, so pay attention to related matters!
