Skipping Rope - A Neglected Sport

Friends, know more and be smarter! When was the last time you skipped rope? Skipping rope is cheap and convenient, and it may burn far more calories and other benefits than you might think. WEBMD, a well-known medical wellness website in the United States, quoted Peter Schulman, associate professor of cardiology/pulmonary medicine at Connecticut University Health Center, as saying: "Jumping rope is definitely good for the heart. It strengthens the upper and lower body and burns a lot of calories in a short period of time. But is it suitable for You depends on other considerations. Jumping rope puts pressure directly on the knees, ankles, and hips, but if done right, it's less of an impact than jogging." The benefits of skipping rope According to researcher Michelle Kennedy Hogan, skipping rope can give you the following benefits: 1. Improves coordination: Skipping rope actually makes you focus on your feet, which improves coordination. Whether you pay attention or not, your brain knows what your feet are doing.

2. Reduces foot and ankle injuries: Skipping rope not only improves foot coordination, but also strengthens the muscles around the ankle and foot, reducing the chance of injury to these areas. 3. Burns a lot of calories: Jumping rope actually burns more calories than jogging. Ten minutes of skipping rope is roughly equivalent to running a mile in eight minutes. 4. Convenient and fun: The skipping rope can be carried with you anywhere and anytime. 5. Increases bone density: The best exercise to increase bone density is jumping up and down, says Dr. Daniel Barry, a researcher who studies the bones of older adults and athletes. Done right, skipping rope can have related benefits. 6. Improves cardiovascular health: According to the American College of Sports Medicine, they highly recommend skipping rope as an aerobic exercise.

7. Improves breathing efficiency: Skipping rope can also improve breathing efficiency, which is great for making other exercises easier for you. 8. Makes you smarter: According to research from the Jump Rope Institute, which promotes skipping rope, skipping rope helps develop the left and right hemispheres of the brain, which further enhances spatial awareness, improves reading skills, increases memory and makes you more alert. 9. Improves the ability to stay calm: Because you are actually using your mind and body at the same time, skipping rope represents a compound movement that combines circular motion and angular momentum. Improving your ability to jump rope and synchronizing your body, mind, and rope may help you become more calm in other situations.

Reminder to members For beginners, a relatively heavy leather or metal-coated rope is recommended, as it retains shape and is easier to control than lightweight cloth or plastic ropes. Of course, the length of the rope should also be adjusted appropriately.

When skipping rope, you need to wear suitable sports shoes, preferably training shoes, and never slippers. Also try not to jump rope on carpet, grass, concrete or asphalt. If possible, opt for wood floors, plywood, or exercise padding. In addition, skipping rope can be integrated into a variety of exercise programs. As with any exercise, Friends needs to be mindful of your target heart rate zone in order to exercise at enough intensity to benefit from exercise while reducing the health risks of exercising too vigorously. For example, you set a target heart rate zone of 60% to 80% of your maximum heart rate. First determine your maximum heart rate as follows: 220 minus your age. If you are 50 years old, the maximum heart rate is 170, and the 60% to 80% target zone is 102-136 beats per minute, so the heart rate should be maintained within the range during exercise. There is also a reserve heart rate to calculate the maximum heart rate range, which is similar in concept. If in doubt, consult your doctor. EGA lifestyle!
