Talk:Skipping rope

skipping rope

Why is it called jump rope? surely it was called skipping first.... Myself0101 (talk) 18:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

You don't skip when using a jump rope. You jump. 128.211.198.168 (talk) 03:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

anaerobic?

Is skipping anaerobic? I was sure it wasn't but I've just read you don't get much oxygen whilst skipping...

Would it be a good idea to mention some organisations which run these skipping competitions, such as FISAC-IRSF (International Rope Skipping Federation)? --Xidon 19:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Length of Rope

How does one size a jump rope so that it fits them properly? --Dennis Fernkes 00:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The right length of rope for someone would be if you tread on it with both feet in the centre of the rope and the handles should be in your armpits or thereabouts. Xidon 09:47, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikification

I previously wikified this page, however all of those edits have been reverted. The page is no longer compliant with WP:MOS. As I don't understand why the edits were undone I'm not prepared to spend time wikifying again. Rich257 12:50, 18 September 2006 ( =

Exercise

I think the exercise section sounds like an advertisement. It's just kind of weird to have in an encyclopedia article. If someone thinks it needs to be changed...

Your right, I've tagged it with {{tone}} as you can't really 'advertise' excersise. You could copyedit it yourself, or wait for someone else to come along and sort it out Ollie 23:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Picture

what we need is a picture of a jump rope itself (Mini no ipod (talk) 03:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC))

Strength Building?

At a couple points within the article it mentions jumping rope as either building or requiring strength. While jumping rope is a challenging exercise unless someone has a really low level of strength jumping rope is not going to require or build strength. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.146.232 (talk) 05:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

External links: advert link?

Under external links, the link labelled "[1]" seems to be nothing more than a link to a site selling related merchandise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.14.47 (talk) 22:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Rhymes

My granddaughter would appreciate someone adding to referencing a list of jumping rhymes. Geologist (talk) 01:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

You'll find some here: Skipping-rope rhyme. Gronky (talk) 03:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Possible side effects?

I heard that jumping rope could be detrimental to brain health since during the practise the brain is always jolting. Is there any research on that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davor.danach (talk • contribs) 15:24, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
