3º ESO. Rope Jumping 3: Basic Techniques
INDIVIDUALLY:
Basic jump with rebound:
This is where both feet are slightly apart and jump at the same time over the rope. You do a little rebound after jumping, while you swing the rope. This jump is very comfortable and you can also use it to rest between different skills in a routine.
Basic jump without rebound:
It is a little faster than the rebound one, so you get tired before.
Alternate foot jump (speed step):
This style consists of using alternate feet to jump off the ground. This technique can be used to effectively double the number of skips per minute as compared to the above technique.
Here you have a video showing you some of the following jumps:
Direction change:
You start jumping forwards, and in a given moment, instead of swinging the rope under your feet, you swing it to one of your sides. You must then turn with the rope to that side and raise it. When it is on top of your head, you swing it backwards and you are jumping backwards: you have completed a direction change!
Criss-cross:
This method is similar to the basic jump with the only difference being that while jumping, the left hand goes to the right part of the body and vice versa for the right hand, so that you cross the rope in front of you.
Double under:
To perform a double under, the participant needs to jump up a bit higher than usual while swinging the rope twice under his feet. It is possible to have the rope swing three times under the feet (triple under). In fact, in competitive jump rope, triples, quadruples ("quads"), and quintuples ("quins") are not uncommon.
The skier:
a side-to-side jump keeping the feet together; you jump to the right with once, and to the left the following one.
The bell:
a front-and-back jump keeping the feet together.
The scissors:
a jump putting one foot forward and the other back, then switching back-and-forth.
The jumping jack:
a jump putting the feet apart and then together
IN PAIRS:
Enter your parner´s rope from the front:
You must be in front of him and to one side, so you can enter diagonally with only one step. When? When the rope hits the floor. To exit, move diagonally outside whn the rope touches the floor.
Enter from the front and turn round inside:
Same as before but you turn as you jump inside the rope.
Enter your partner´s rope from behind (and turn round):
Similar to the previous ones, but the gap to jump in is smaller. You must get very close to your partner.
Catching your parner:
You start jumping, and your partner, a little apart from you, starts jumping at your same pace. You must jump towards him/her and “catch” him/her, getting him/her inside your rope.
Here you have a video showing all the possibilities of rope jumping:
IN A LONG ROPE:
Basic jump:
Entering the rope when it hits the floor and starts going away from you. You must jump in the center of the rope and exit at the other end.
Turning inside:
Turn around as you jump. It´s very easy!
How many?
How many students can jump at the same time in one rope?
Two crossed ropes jump:
Here you jump not one but two ropes. They form a cross and the trick is only to look to one of the ropes. You must enter and exit as if you were jumping a sigle rope. Jumping in the middle of the ropes is fundamental not to be hit by one of the ropes!
