How to jump rope faster?

When children jump rope, they always like to compete with each other to see who can last longer or jump more, or who can jump faster. Why can some people jump rope at a very fast speed while others can only do it one jump at a time? You may not know that there are skills involved. What are the better techniques for jumping rope faster? Let's talk about how to jump rope faster.

●Hold the handles at both ends of the rope with both hands. Usually, step on the middle of the rope with one foot. Bend your elbows and raise your forearms flat. When the rope is straightened, it is the appropriate length.

●When jumping rope, you should jump and land on the front of your feet. Remember not to land on your whole foot or heel to avoid shaking your brain. When jumping, do not bend your body extremely, but keep it in a naturally bent position. When dancing, your breathing should be natural and rhythmic.

●When rocking forward, keep your upper arms close to the sides of your body, elbows slightly abducted, and upper arms nearly horizontal. Use your wrists to abduct and internally rotate your hands, so that your hands draw circles on the sides of your body. Every time it is shaken, the rope goes from the ground through the body, up and down, and makes a circle. The speed at which the rope rotates is proportional to the speed at which the hand shakes the rope. The faster it is shaken, the faster the rope will circle.

● Wear soft, lightweight sports shoes to avoid ankle injuries.

●The rope should be of moderate hardness and thickness. Beginners usually use hard ropes, and can switch to soft ropes after becoming proficient.

●It is better to choose a venue with moderate hardness and softness of lawn, wooden floor or mud ground. Do not jump rope on hard concrete ground to avoid damaging the joints and causing concussion.

● When skipping rope, you need to relax your muscles and joints, and coordinate the strength of your toes and heels to prevent sprains.

●People who are heavier should use both feet to rise and fall at the same time. At the same time, do not jump too high to avoid injuring the joints due to excessive weight.

After reading the detailed description above, you now know how to jump rope faster, and you have also mastered many rope skipping techniques. The choice of rope and shoes are both very particular, and the posture and movement of holding the rope are the most critical. Now that you have learned these techniques, you might as well try to see if your rope skipping level has improved.
