Does skipping rope hurt your knees?

I don't know when it started, but there are endless claims that skipping rope hurts the knees, causes sagging hips, and thick calves. These claims are all incorrect. Does skipping rope hurt the knees? In fact, correct skipping rope will not pose a threat to the knees. On the contrary, it will promote the human body to become healthier and stronger. Skipping rope is a great way to exercise. People need to increase their understanding of it and avoid falling into these misunderstandings.

Experts say that the impact force of skipping rope on the knees is only 1/7 of that of running, and as long as you master the skipping rope technique and land with the front end of your feet, you can reduce the impact on your body, so that your knees can be exercised while ensuring safety.

Rope skipping should be done on a relatively soft surface, such as carpet, wooden floor, or flat grass. Try not to skip rope on concrete. After all, skipping rope is a longitudinal movement of the human body. The hard ground not only hurts the knee joints, but also affects the central nervous system of the brain. A reminder to all "rope lovers": "For those who are heavier, don't jump too high when skipping rope. 3 to 5 centimeters off the ground is more appropriate. At the same time, jump with both feet, which can reduce damage to the knee and ankle joints and is not easy to get tired."

You need to warm up before jumping rope and relax after jumping rope. After intense rope skipping exercise, do not stop immediately. Continue to skip rope slowly or walk for a while. You can stop only after your blood circulation returns to normal. Then do some stretching and relaxing exercises to relax your leg muscles.

"You need to warm up first and then relax before doing any exercise. Rope skipping can cause tension in the calf muscles, and relaxation and stretching are conducive to muscle relaxation, especially stretching exercises, which can prevent the calves from becoming thicker." Men Chuansheng said, "If you want to prevent your calves from becoming thicker, you can do some stretching exercises, or you can make fists with both hands and pat your calves. Pat each calf for 3 to 5 minutes."

Does jumping rope hurt your knees? These statements are ridiculous and not worth believing at all. Skipping rope will not cause sagging buttocks. On the contrary, it will make excess fat in the buttocks disappear quickly and the buttocks muscles become firm. I hope everyone can correctly understand the importance of skipping rope and increase physical exercise in life. Skipping rope, jogging and playing ball are all great and can make our bodies healthier.
