 JUMPING ROPE

What is jumping rope?

Skipping rope, also known as rope jumping, is an activity practiced as

children's game and as physical exercise (especially as training for some sports, such as
boxing, tennis, or bodybuilding). The Dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Language defines jump rope
a children's game consisting of jumping over a rope that is passed underneath
from the feet and over the head of the one who jumps." Jumping rope is considered a physical exercise with
numerous health benefits, as it is an aerobic activity. It has always been a game
popular practiced for centuries, but nowadays it is considered a sport that is increasingly
there are more modalities to be practiced by rope lovers. The rules depend on the
jump rope modality and will adapt to the specific characteristics of the participants, the
material and the specific context in which it is carried out. Rope exercises are often used as
sports warm-up prior to other exercises, and they are an ideal training for sports
that require vigor, coordination, and rhythm. Jumping rope hardens and renews the texture of the
muscles, and is considered suitable for the heart and lungs. Jumping rope usually
consists of one or more participants jumping over a rope that is spun so that it passes
under their feet and above their head. If the game is individual, it is a person who spins the rope.

while a third one jumps.

by anyone, and it is also easy to find, and the practice is as effective as it is interesting. This exercise
Physical fitness is aimed at everyone, both men and women. It is a sport that helps
to lose weight, especially after a certain weight burden.

The origin of jump rope is uncertain, although there are some theories that place it among the
rope artisans of ancient Egypt, who enjoyed jumping over the ropes
braided. There are also references that it was one of the favorite activities during the party of
new year, in ancient China. And Hippocrates (460-377 BC), a Greek physician considered the father of
Medicine recommended jumping rope as a practice of agility. From the medieval era, various
paintings show children jumping rope just like they do today. Jumping rope,
(Sorolla Museum, Madrid, Spain) is a famous painting by the Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida
(1863-1923). We also find in the Chilean author, Emma Jauch Jelves (1915-1998), the work
Pictorial The cordel. The Chilean painter Fernando Morales Jordán (1920) has a humorous drawing.

game, as there have been many works where it has been reflected. Initially, this activity was
a men's game, and it spread from Europe to the Netherlands, and to North America. In
Spain, jump rope is a popular game that has traditionally been practiced almost
exclusively for girls. This traditional and exclusive character is acquiring in some countries a
broader and more universal vision, currently considered as an aerobic activity aimed at
boys and girls, with significant health benefits and for the harmonious development of those who
they practice it. In America, in the years of the 1940s and 1950s, jumping rope became very
popular, and children in many cities in the United States used the rope to hang their laundry
mothers, when it was still wet, like a jump rope, because when wet it had the weight
necessary to hit the ground with the necessary force. In the early 1970s, Richard
Cendali began to promote jump rope in the US and then throughout the world. Many of the
people who are now dedicated to training jump rope have been athletes who have used the
rope as a resource for the development of their physical condition as may be the case with David Fisher
who has been holding exhibitions in educational centers since 1993 to promote rope jumping
among the student population and warn of the benefits it brings to their hearts.

particularly interesting effects for certain people and sports practices. The muscles

I do nothing but wait.
Wait all day until you don't arrive.
Until I fall asleep

Love, every day.

I am ruined to my bones,
everything is sorrow.

Your body is by my side

easy, sweet, quiet.
Your head on my chest regrets
with closed eyes
and I look at you and smoke

and I caress your hair in love.

This deadly tenderness with which I fall silent

is hugging you while I have

motionless my arms.
I look at my body, the thigh

your soft hidden and tight bosom
and the low and soft breathing of your belly
without my lips.
I tell you in a whisper
things that I invent all the time
and I really get sad and lonely
and I kiss you as if you were your portrait.
You, without speaking, look at me

and you press against me and make your cry

without tears, without eyes, without fright.

And I go back to smoking, while things

they start listening to what we don't talk about.
