 An 1800 depiction of jumping rope A jump rope, skipping rope or skip rope is the primary tool used in the game of skipping played by children and many young adults, where one or more participants jump over a spinning rope so that it passes under their feet and over their heads. This may consist of one participant twirling and jumping the rope, or a minimum of three participants taking turns, two of which twirl the rope while one or more jumps. Sometimes the latter is played with two twirling ropes; this form of the activity is called Double Dutch and is significantly more difficult.

English folklore suggests that skipping had its origins as a reminder of the rope with which Judas Iscariot hanged himself after his betrayal of Christ. Skipping was popular in spring and particularly at Easter time. Skipping took place in Cambridge and in several Sussex villages and indeed still takes place every Good Friday in the East Sussex village of Alciston.[1] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Competition Jump rope is practiced on a competitive level world-wide. Athletes compete in individual and team events. In freestyle routines, jumpers have a set time limit to demonstrate a combination of skills; in many competitions these are choreographed to music. During the speed events, athletes must complete a determined amount of successful jumps within a particular amount of time. For example, the world record for 30 second speed is 188 jumps. In July 2004 Brisbane, Australia hosted the World Jump Rope Championships. Belgium, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, and the United States of America each medalled. The 2006 World Jump Rope Championships was held in Toronto, Canada in mid-July. The 4th Asian Rope Skipping Championship was held on 9 February 2007 at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi, India. Jump rope exhibitions are also frequently staged at events such as festivals, charity functions, and sporting half-time shows.

Two competing jump rope organizations once functioned in the US: the International Rope Skipping Organization, and the World Rope Skipping Federation. IRSO focused more on stunt-oriented and gymnastic/athletic type jump rope moves, while the WRSF focused more on the aesthetics and form of jump roping. These two organizations have now merged into the USAJRF, which was recently renamed USA Jump Rope to fit the trend of other Olympic and Olympic-hopeful sports.

Jumping rope as exercise Jumping rope is an activity not only suited for competition or recreation, but also for a cardiovascular workout, similar to jogging or bicycle riding. This aerobic exercise can achieve a "burn rate" of up to 1300 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of jumping rope is roughly the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Jumping rope for 15-20 minutes is enough to even burn off the calories from a candy bar.[2] The circulatory system or cardiovascular system is the organ system which circulates blood around the body of most animals. ...

Jumping rope can avoid the knee damage which may occur during running, since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs. Jumping rope also helps strengthen the arms and shoulders. This combination of an aerobic workout and coordination-building footwork have made jumping rope a popular form of exercise for athletes, especially boxers and wrestlers. Individuals or groups can participate in the exercise, and learning proper jump rope technique is relatively simple compared to many other athletic activities. The exercise is also appropriate for a wide range of ages and fitness levels. Jumping rope is particularly effective in an aerobic routine combined with other activities, such as walking, biking, or running. For other uses, see Knee (disambiguation). ...

Jumping rope techniques Some of the techniques that can be used when jumping rope are: - Basic jump
- This is where both feet are slightly apart and jump at the same time over the rope. Beginners should master this technique first before moving onto more advanced techniques.
- Alternate foot jump
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Combination jumps
- There are many more difficult jump roping tricks that combine two or more of these techniques to make a single trick. These combinations can also be used in Chinese Wheel, Double Dutch, and Long Rope.
- Leg under x
- The leg under x is a complicated trick where the jumper puts the left hand under the right leg and the right hand over the left leg.
- Other
- Many other variations are possible, including: "skier", a side-to-side jump keeping the feet together; "bell", a front-and-back jump keeping the feet together; "scissors", a jump putting one foot forward and the other back, then switching back-and-forth; "jumping jack", a jump putting the feet apart and then together; and "can-can" a jump with one leg up and bent, followed by a jump with both feet on ground, followed by a jump kicking the foot out.
