How to skip rope effectively?

If a child has not reached the general height standard at a certain age, parents will definitely use various channels to find out whether their child should eat calcium-supplementing, growth-enhancing and nutritious foods. However, in their anxiety, parents forget that they can stimulate bones through physical exercise, such as skipping rope. However, younger children may not be as tall as the rope. Here we will introduce how to skip rope effectively for children of different ages.

Children who are thin and short usually have low appetite, small food intake, are prone to illness, and do less exercise. Parents need to tell their children that exercise can increase their appetite, make them healthier, make them taller, and reduce the number of illnesses, injections, and medications they need, so as to arouse their interest in exercise. The intensity of exercise should be lower, such as slow-frequency skipping rope, hopscotch, playing table tennis, playing badminton, jogging, etc. Among them, slow-frequency skipping rope is the easiest to perform and has the best effect. The specific method is:

(1) The skipping frequency is less than 60 times per minute.

(2) After the child jumps rope for 3 minutes, he/she should rest for 3 to 5 minutes, which constitutes one cycle. Gradually increase the number of cycles, depending on the child's physical condition.

When children aged 3 to 5 years old first start to practice skipping rope, parents need to guide their children to train step by step:

(1) First, let the child dance to the rhythm without holding the rope. Guide the child to jump up while clapping his hands.

(2) After the child learns to jump rhythmically, do not hold the rope. Let the child make the skipping rope posture with both hands and imitate the skipping rope movements to the rhythm.

(3) Then guide the child to hold the rope with both hands and imitate the rope skipping action. When the rope hits the ground, guide your child to jump both feet over the rope, exactly like skipping rope, except the movement is not continuous.

(4) Practice the complete rope skipping exercise by holding the rope with both hands and jumping up with both feet in coordination. After your child learns to jump rope, practice changing the patterns of jumping rope. This not only increases the enthusiasm for exercise, but also improves coordination.

Being active and lively is a child's nature, so, with proper guidance from parents, children can learn to skip rope. We have shared with you above how to help children skip rope effectively. The correct rope skipping posture can exercise the arms and legs well, but parents should be reminded to decide the frequency of rope skipping according to their children's physical condition.
