How to improve your rope skipping skills

Due to the fast pace of work and life in modern society, many people do not pay much attention to physical exercise and are easily affected by the current popular sub-health. Parents are so busy that they have no free time to take their children to exercise. Moreover, many schools are now gradually increasing children's physical exercise, especially incorporating the number of rope skipping into physical education test scores. So, parents, please pay attention to the following methods on how to improve rope skipping skills.

The length of the rope, the method of holding the rope, the method of using the feet (alternating between one foot and another or jumping with both feet together), the rhythm of skipping rope, the standardization of the movements, etc.

1. The technical aspects include: the method of using the feet (single-foot alternating jump or double-foot jump), the rhythm of skipping rope, the standardization of movements, etc.

2. The length of the rope: A shorter rope can make the rope rotate faster. The length of the rope varies from person to person. Generally speaking, the length of the rope should be equivalent to half of the height and slightly longer by 2 to 3 cm.

3. Rope grabbing method: The rope grabbing method is also very particular. If you are farther away from the rope handle when grabbing the rope, the centrifugal force will be greater when the speed of skipping rope increases, and the pulling force of the rope on your hand will be greater, so your arms will be more likely to get tired. Therefore, when grabbing the rope, you should stay close to the rope handle; the closer you are, the less effort you will have.

4. Arm strength: Some students will have sore upper arms after jumping too much. That is because their arms are stretched too wide when jumping rope, and the forearm muscles are easily fatigued when the forearms swing with the rope. To reduce fatigue, keep your arms as close to your body as possible when jumping rope, and use your wrists to apply force. The palms of your hands should not face upwards, but should face downwards or opposite each other as much as possible. You can exert more force when your palms face downwards. This will save energy and you will not feel tired no matter how much you jump.

Today's children not only have to work hard to get good grades in their studies, but they also cannot ignore physical education which tests their physical health. If the school your child attends requires a test on skipping rope proficiency, parents can teach their children the above methods to improve their skipping rope proficiency. All in all, skipping rope is very good for children's physical health.
