Most people don’t have a comprehensive understanding of rope skipping: "Many people think that rope skipping means skipping rope within a specified time. , The one who jumps a lot more can win, in fact, this is just a racing skipping rope."
In order to let the citizens have a more comprehensive understanding of rope skipping, rope skipping coach Wen Duoduo introduced the four major categories of rope skipping: "The first type of racing rope skipping is what we usually learn in school, and its purpose is to conduct physical tests or competitions. Speed competition; the second is fancy rope skipping, which is mainly used for viewing and performing, and can make a lot of cool actions; the third is music skipping, which needs to follow the music beat and complete the required actions and optional actions , Arranged into a complete set of actions to participate in the competition; the last type is entertainment rope skipping, which is usually performed on a special venue (such as a mat filled with soap bubbles), mainly for team building activities, so that everyone can find their innocence and release their hearts. pressure."
In order to give reporters a more intuitive experience of these four types of rope skipping, Wen Duoduo also showed reporters the videos of three other types of rope skipping besides racing rope skipping.

Wen Duoduo said that improving rope skipping performance through training can achieve the goal: “According to the requirements of the Municipal Education Commission, boys have to jump 180 times a minute to get full marks, while girls’ full marks are 172 jumps per minute. Ordinary students do not pass extracurricular. It’s really not easy to train yourself to figure out and practice. It’s really not easy to reach this amount. However, it’s not difficult to reach this amount through intensive training to improve coordination and endurance of the hands and feet."
Later, Wen Duoduo introduced several key points to improve the speed of skipping rope: "'The workman must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do his job well.' To improve your performance, you must first choose a rope that you feel comfortable. The common ropes at present Including cotton rope, rubber rope and steel wire rope, I personally do not recommend using cotton rope, because this kind of rope is easy to bend, has high resistance, and is inconvenient to shake; the weight of rubber rope is light, it is no problem in normal use, but it may change in winter It is hard and easy to break; the wire rope is a thin steel wire wrapped in rubber, and there is a special shaft, which is the most suitable rope for competition."
After choosing a suitable rope, Wen Duoduo revealed that the second thing to pay attention to is to adjust the length of the rope: "There are two ways to adjust the rope. One is to adjust the length of the rope and raise the arm horizontally. The half-fold just touched the ground; the other is to adjust the length of the rope, step on the middle of the rope, straighten the rope, and the end of the rope handle just under the armpit."
Wen Duoduo introduced two professional training methods to improve the ability of racing skipping rope: "One is to exercise core strength, you can use opening and closing jumping, squat jumping and other methods to improve the strength and endurance of the legs; the other is coordination Sex training. This training is divided into two parts, the first part is to put the rope on the ground, put it into a shape you like, and then rhythmically jump in and out of the rope loop; the second part is to use a single Throw the rope, let the body follow the time when the rope touches the ground, and jump rhythmically, so as to get used to the rhythm of the rope swing and improve the coordination of the body. Through these exercises, teenagers can get good results in the rope skipping test."
