Skipping ropes rope are the primary tool used in the sport of skipping, where one or more participants jump over a rope swung so that it passes under their feet and over their heads.
In contrast to running, skipping rope is unlikely to lead to knee damage since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs. Skipping rope also helps strengthen the arms and shoulders. This combination of an aerobic workout and coordination-building footwork has made skipping rope a popular form of exercise for athletes, especially boxers and wrestlers. Individuals or groups can participate in the exercise, and learning proper skipping technique is simple compared to many other athletic activities. Skipping is also appropriate for a wide range of ages and fitness levels.
