Dr. Wu Wenqiang believes that as long as the landing method is correct, the impact force can be reduced to a safe range. He suggested that, first, rope jumpers should jump on some grass, mud or plastic ground with moderate hardness to reduce the impact; second, they should take active and conscious buffering actions. Jumping on the forefoot can reduce the impact on the ankle and knee joints. Keep your knees bent when you jump.
