FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SKIPPING ROPE

Jumping rope is a highly effective cardio exercise that uses a wide range of muscles. It’s a simple, affordable way of improving both physical fitness and coordination. What’s more, it’s portable, which means you can take it almost anywhere. This sport is included in the best sports for weight loss.

Some benefits of skipping:

  • Burn calories: Jumping rope is a high-energy activity. In fact, jumping rope for an hour can burn up to 1,000 calories, making it an excellent choice for those looking to lose weight.
  • Improved cardiovascular health: Like all cardio activities, skipping rope can help strengthen the heart, improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Muscle strengthening: Jumping rope works many muscles, including the calves, thighs, buttocks, abdominals, arms and shoulders. So it’s a great way to tone your whole body.
  • Improved coordination: Skipping rope requires good coordination between hand and foot movements. Over time, this can help improve overall coordination and agility.
  • Increased bone density: Jumping is an activity that puts weight on the bones, which can help increase their density. This is particularly beneficial in preventing osteoporosis.

In conclusion, skipping rope is a complete, effective and fun exercise that can bring many benefits to your health. However, as with any exercise, it’s important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity to avoid injury.

How to calculate the number of calories burned skipping

The result displayed is expressed in Kcal and is calculated from the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). The MET for each activity is the result of statistical data and cannot therefore be interpreted as an exact calculation, but rather as an estimate that takes into account the MET value and the ratio between the time spent doing an activity and the weight of the individual.

For example: The MET value for skipping rope at a moderate level is 7.5. This means that a person skipping rope at this pace consumes 7.5 times more energy than when resting during the session.

MET values for different levels of skipping intensity

  • Moderate skipping MET = 8.5
  • Intense skipping MET = 11.5

Discover the detailed formula to calculate your daily energy expenditure while skipping

Consumption in Kcal per minute = (MET*3.5*Weight in kilos)/200

So for a 60kg person skipping rope for 30 minutes:
Kcal consumption per minute = (7.5*3.5*60)/200 = 7.875 Kcal/m
