6 About Sport Of Jump Rope WHAT IS JUMP ROPE? A Jump Rope (JR) forms the basic foundation of every sport. Here the Jumpers jump over a spinning rope so that it passes under their feet and over their heads. There are more than 950 different tricks/techniques of jump rope. Jump ropes are made of cloth, licorices, plastic, beaded string, or plasticcoated wire/cables. Cloth and beaded ropes hold their shape better, while plastic and coated-cable ropes are designed for SR events viz. SR Speed 30 Sec, SR Endurance 3 min. SR Double Under 30 Sec., SR Triple Under, SR Speed Relay & SR Double Under relay but not for SR Freestyle. As you must aware of the following equation Value = Costs/ Benefits But in case of Jump Rope (JR) one can say that as it is known as most cost effective sport as its jump rope equipment are less expensive than other so by this one can easily say that Jump Rope (JR) has more Value. Even current research is showing that high impact activities, such as jumping rope, can also help maintain and/or build healthy bones. Another big plus is that the cost is minimal a place to jump, a good rope, and a pair of supportive athletic shoes are all you need. Jumping rope actually has a lot going for it as an exercise. Jump Rope can assist in developing agility, coordination, and balance, not to mention improvements in cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Jump Rope increased speed, power, agility & explosiveness. Nonetheless, many sports coaches, fitness trainers & sports enthusiasts remain unaware of the full potential of it (see fig. 6) Jump Rope is the most kidult & cost effective sport which strengthens the stamina of the individual and helps the obese to lose weight and increases the appetite of anorexic people. There is no age related factor associated with jump rope. It forms the basic foundation of every sport. This may consist of two participants turning (Turner) and jumping the rope (Jumper); this form of the activity in the sports of jump rope is called Double Dutch (DD). There are various double dutch events like double dutch sprints & double dutch freestyle (see fig. 4)

7 Benefits of Jump Rope I. Here in India most of the children do single bounce (to have the rope swings one time under the feet) since time immemorial, without knowing the fact that it has more than 950 skills & it is a sport. They are just doing it for fun & trying to get indulge into the core of Jump Rope. There are few events like Single Rope freestyle, Double Dutch freestyle, Fusion Style where the jumpers are free to do anything with Rope on Music. II. III. When children practice it with their friends, it develops a sense of teamwork and social skills in you. It makes them more vigilant and alert. It increases your attention skills. Jump Rope enhances flexibility and athletic abilities. It improves your reflexes, balance and posture. Jump Rope is the game of endurance, speed and sportsmanship. Physical activity is a major risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. Jump Rope can help your heart whether it s included in Exercise program or daily routine. IV. Physical activity is also good for brain, feeding it glucose & Oxygen all of which make easier for Children of all ages learn & memorize V. It improves the figure by tightening flabby muscles and loose flesh on the arms, thighs, buttocks and calves. Prolonged Jump Rope improves the bust and posture, and combined with a caloriecontrolled diet, a jump rope will help to shed kilos in ladies. VI. The boxer needs to be fast on his feet. Jump Rope will greatly increase speed and lightness on his feet. 10 second and 30 second bursts of speed (jogging step) are needed and can be easily achieved. VII. The Jump Rope is the most cost effective sport in respect of requirement of accessories & ground Facility (as for this you just need 4 x 4 m surface). VIII. It strengthens the stamina of the individual and helps the obese to lose weight and increases the appetite of anorexic people. It is so effective in burning calories that an hour of jump rope will make you burn up to 1000 calories. IX. There is no age related factor allied with this sport. X. The backbone of all sport is Jump rope as it helps to enhance the endurance & stamina which puts the basic grounds of all sport. It is found that Jump rope is adopted by most of the sport without knowing the fact that it is just not the exercise.

8 Misconceptions & Truth The Jump Rope is not new sport at all for India but still it is always encircled by many misconceptions. The Jump Rope is been associated as a girl sport by most of the folks & even by others it is been taken as high impact exercise which may leads to knee injury. But the truth is completely contradictory. The Jump Rope is the sport which helps in making the muscles & bones stronger. Jump Rope also show the way to burn more calories than do most aerobic activities & reduces risk to Osteoporosis which is found more common in Old age. Jump Rope needs the coordination especially in Double Dutch (DD) event. It is to a degree depends on turner & to the rest of measure it depends on Jumper. Few people are afraid of it because of the reason that they have lack of co-ordination & feel humiliated whenever they made miss even if it is minor. The best way is whenever you think about Jump Rope just don t make too much hurry to jump into next tougher skills? Jump Rope is been done only when your mind is calm & enjoy your routine thoroughly The Jump Rope is found to be most effective in cardiovascular diseases. Jump Rope has been endorsed by American Heart Association (AHA), which advocates it as a way to raise children s physical fitness levels thus reduces their lifetime risk of heart disease, cardiovascular ailments & stroke. Jump Rope can also improve brain function because of its influence on vestibular system in the inner ear, which is responsible for sense of balance & is linked to specific neuroanatomical systems that govern physical movement. Jump Rope requires you to synchronise & harmonise large no. of upper & lower body muscle groups; it generates significant brain activity in cortical center that may result in increased kinaesthetic awareness & mental alertness. As we can see in Fig. 6 & 7, Jump Rope causes one to expend rich amount of calories, thus aiding in weight loss, even it reduces your risk to possible degenerative condition such as osteoporosis by increasing your bone density. Jump Rope helps in developing the strength of wrist, ankle & knee strength & conditioning of back, shoulders & chest.

Before entering the competition floor, the length of the Jumper s Rope will be checked at the designated area by the Technical Director (TD) using the guide marked on the floor. Some types of rope allow you to cut them down to size but if your rope is the wrong length don't despair! Tie knots near the handles to make alterations a good idea if more than one person is going to be using the same rope. Usually different ropes are been used in various events, for an instance in SR Speed 30 sec& SR Endurance 3 min. jumpers use Wire rope while in SR Freestyle they prefer licorice Rope/PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) Rope. But in Double Dutch Events the jumpers are free to use Cloth Rope or Beaded Rope or Licorice rope depends on events

49 Chapter 7 Ropenology A B C Acrobatics: Acrobatics are skills where the person incorporates an acrobatic or gymnastics skill without jumping through the rope. This time exposure photo shows a jumper doing a "One-handed Walkover." Another example in this category would be a Cartwheel, Round off, Back flip, Front flip, Roll, Salto, Suicide etc. Bolas: Bolas is skills where the rope is held in the middle while the end(s) are turned. The term "bolas" is a contraction of the term "boleadoras," the Argentinean equivalent of the American Cowboys lasso. Because swing rope ends poses a danger if they have heavy handles, we don't include these in exercise classes. Catches: Catches are skills where the rope is caught or re-grasped in some way during its execution. There are several subcategories with Catches. Here a jumper is executing a "Side Toss" to the left. Other Catch skills include letting go of one end and then retrieving it in some way, catch the middle of the rope with a foot, etc. Counter: Counters are basically the device which is used by speed judges for counting the speed of the Jumper. There are two counters viz. Mechanical Counter & Electronic Counter (introduced in 2010, by Richard Stannerd) Call out: Call out can be considered as warnings given by Time Keeper. The Call out shall let the jumper know how much time is left for the events. D Crosses: Crossing the arms before, behind, under, in between the bodyparts Disqualification Flag: Disqualification Flag is a red color Flag which is used by Judge to show Disqualification. E Double Under is the event where the rope shall go twice under the feet & above the head of the jumper in a single jump. Entering: Entering is when a jumper is enters into the loop of DD formed by turners

50 Exiting: Exiting is when a jumper is exits from the loop of DD formed by turners F False Start: False Start is a violation where the jumper start the event before the call out Set Go False Switch: False Switch is a violation where the jumper start the event before the call out Switch Footwork: Footwork is the skills that are performed with the feeds. Fancy feed means fast footwork. G Heat: Heat is nothing but the speed Stations. H Head Counter: Head Counter / Head Judge shall be responsible for Final score. Multiples: Multiples are where a jumper does Double Under, Triple Under, Quadruple, and Quintuple etc. I J K Merit Judges: Merit Judges shall keep an account for Major Miss& minor miss Power: Power skills that requires lot of strength like jumping on the hands examples: Push-up Frog crabs, kip Release: Releasing one or both handles and catching it again Switch: Switch is a call out of Relay event. It is called to change the jumper/ turner in case of DD events. Speed Station: Speed Station is a smaller fragment of Court where the jumper performs the speed, endurance & other events except SR Freestyle, DD events & Demo Cup. Sprint: Sprint is the other name of Speed/ jogging 30 sec. Space Violation: Space Violation is the violation which comes when the jumper is unable to use all four corners Step Through: Step-through are skills where one leg passes through the rope at a time. Here is demonstration of "Open Step-through." Various

51 L martial arts or dance kicks can also be incorporated into this category of skills Time Keeper: Time Keeper is keeping the record of time of events & is responsible for Call out. Time Violation: Time Violation appears when s jumper is unable to complete the event. It is usually found at SR Endurance 3 min. Event while in case of SR/DD Freestyles if the jumper is performing the event without using the rope. Turner: Turner is responsible for allowing the ropes to turn & form the loop so that one could be able to jump. See fig. 9 M Whirls: Whirls is a skill category where the single rope is turned about the body, but not under the feet. Here is demonstration a "Front-back Figure-8 Whirl" together in the thumbnail to the left. Many more complicated whirls are also possible Wraps: Wraps are self-explanatory: skills where the rope wraps around some part of the body. Here is demonstration of Extend Waist Wrap". You can also hold on to both ends of the rope and wrap the forearm, leg, waist and other areas
