Introduction
Rope skipping is a simple sport that many people have played in the school playground. It involves swinging a rope so that it goes over the head and under the feet. As the rope passes under the feet the player jumps. There are many different rope skipping techniques. Some involve three people, two turn the rope and the third jumps. However, many techniques can be accomplished by a single participant who both turns and jumps the rope. In addition to being a fun pastime for children, rope skipping is also a useful form of exercise. It provides a good cardiovascular workout, it tones muscles, develops hand-eye co-ordination and there is even some research to suggest it can help prevent osteoporosis. In comparison to many sports, skipping can be appealing to reluctant exercisers. It doesn't require expensive equipment, it is easy to learn the basic techniques, and it can be done indoors or outdoors.
