Skipping rope is loved by a large population and can play a role in
fitness, weight loss, and more. When jumping rope, attention should
be paid to selecting the appropriate method, and the precautions
are as follows:
1. Suitable clothing: It is recommended that rope skipping
individuals wear sportswear or loose fitting clothing, as well as
soft, lightweight high top shoes, to avoid ankle injuries;
2. Suitable rope: The rope is soft and hard, with a moderate
thickness. Beginners are usually advised to use hard ropes, which
can be changed to soft ropes after becoming proficient;
3. Suitable venue: Avoid using small hard objects, dusty or uneven
hard ground as a jumping rope venue, as these surfaces can easily
cause foot sprains or cuts, and once you fall, your body is also
prone to scratches. It is recommended to choose an elastic PU venue
or a floor made of wooden boards;
4. Warm up: Before jumping rope, prepare your feet, legs, wrists,
and ankles for some activities. After jumping rope, you can do some
relaxation activities;
5. From easy to difficult: When starting to practice jump rope, the
movements should be slow to fast, from easy to difficult. First,
learn various movements of single person jump rope, and then learn
complex multi person or group jump rope movements;
6. Prevent injury: When jumping rope, relax your muscles and
joints, and coordinate your toes and heels to prevent sprains;
People with heavier weight should have both feet up and down at the
same time, and jumping up and down should not be too high to avoid
joint injuries due to excessive weight bearing;
7. Pay attention to activity time: There is no limit on exercise
time, but to avoid discomfort, it is recommended to rest for half
an hour before or after meals before performing jump rope
activities.
