  • Jumpin' Rope

    In 1968, John A. Baker performed a study at Arizona State where the training effects of jogging and jumping rope were compared.

    In this study, 92 male students were divided into two groups, one skipping rope 10 minutes per day for six weeks and the other jogging for 30 minutes for the same length of time.

    These were Baker's conclusions:

    1. a daily 10-minute program of rop skipping will significantly improve cardiovascular efficiency

    2. a daily 30-minute program of jogging will significantly improve cardiovascular efficiency

    3. a 10-minute daily program of rope skipping is as efficient as a 30-minute daily program of jogging for improving cardiovascular efficiency
