Jumping rope can significantly reduce abdominal fat, bood pressure and inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rhythmic  movement of head, upper and lower body sets rhythmic patterns in the heart beat and breathing . The whole body works in synchronization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any exercise which utilizes large muscle groups, done continuously and rhythmically at a moderate speed  is termed as an aerobic exercise. Examples are swimming, cycling, jogging , etc. When done at moderate  speed , skipping fits into this category. Oxygen required by the muscles to breakdown glucose and produce energy is provided by the cardio respiratory system. Oxygen supply meets the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> When jumping rope is done in moderate aerobic  pace , it increases the contractility of cardiac muscle , regulates cholesterol levels and improves oxygen and nutrients supply to all cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When jumping rope is done at high intensity in a short duration , it becomes an anaerobic exercise. The muscles now require more oxygen . The cardio respiratory system is unable to meet this increased oxygen demand .The muscles then breakdown glucose without oxygen. Hence the name anaerobic (without oxygen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High intensity training , in addition to the above benefits , improves  the tone of  blood vessels , prevents aging of heart muscle and reduces body mass index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How good can you get?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>120  jumps per minutes is considered slow and novice level , while a grand rope master can do more than 420 jumps per minute!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-solid-color\"><blockquote><p>10 minutes of jumping rope at 120 jumps per minute equals to 30 minutes of jogging<\/p><cite>John A Baker<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumping\/skipping rope consists of three phases<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loading phase<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flight phase<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landing phase<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To complete these phases, the upper and lower body muscles act in coordination along with swing of the rope, timing and grip strength.

Many parts of our body are involved in balancing our body like the eyes , receptors in ears ,  muscles , skin, joints. Our brain receives inputs from these organs and balances our body accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skipping rope is a balance training exercise. It  strengthens the muscles and joints and connects your body with the brain by establishing strong neural pathways. Balance training prevents falls and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20210223_123530_0000-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20210223_123530_0000-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20210223_123530_0000-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20210223_123530_0000-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20210223_123530_0000.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lymphatic drainage <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lymphatic vessels collect excess fluid, toxic waste and micro organisms from the tissues.These are processed in the lymph nodes and then enter  the main circulatory system.

Inside the cells , glucose is broken down to provide energy to the cells. If there is no enough insulin or if the the cells are resistant to insulin , glucose cannot enter the cells. It stays in the blood and raises the blood glucose level. Prediabetes is a condition in which the blood glucose levels are slightly higher than normal and your cells are resistant to insulin. This condition can run for many years till you become a frank diabetic. Three main strategies at this stage prevent diabetes .They are weight loss, physical activity and healthier diet. Jumping rope can aid in weight loss and activate skeletal muscle cells  to reduce insulin resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141508_0000-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141508_0000-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141508_0000-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141508_0000-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141508_0000.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Constipation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Constipation is infrequent or difficulty in  passing  stools.

One major cause of constipation is physical inactivity. An old folk prescription for constipation is warm water and a minimum 60 seconds of rope skipping  in the morning to activate  intestinal movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141931_0000-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141931_0000-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141931_0000-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141931_0000-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/wpd.cloudron.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210228_141931_0000.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hand Eye Body coordination <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumping \/ skipping rope involves simultaneous swift coordination of hand , eye and the  body.

It is also related to menopause, physical inactivity and nutritional deficiency. Jumping \/skipping rope is a weight bearing aerobic exercise that results in stronger bones. This is due to the fact that bone forming cells are activated when bones are put on stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition , jumping rope exercise works many minor and  major skeletal muscles and puts stress on the bones to which they are attached. In response to the stress, the bones undergo remodeling and become denser.
