Which muscle groups are most involved in rope skipping? Which part of your body aches the most after a training session and why? Would you consider rope skipping a sport or a performing art? What are the biggest misconceptions people have of rope skipping?In competitive rope skipping, the sport is very technical and is judged by how fast you are or how well you can execute the skills. Every rope skipper aims to be the fastest in speed events, or to score the highest points in creative events.
It is a sport that does not only involve an individual, but a group of people can all skip together as well.My most memorable experience in competitive rope skipping was during the 2018 FISAC-IRSF Rope Skipping World Championships, where the adrenaline from the competition got me to push myself beyond my usual record.
Share an inspiring story you have of a tournament or an experience with teammates that made you love rope skipping even more.
