  • Locations United States [edit] Historically, there were two competing jump rope organizations in the United States: the International Rope Skipping Organization (IRSO), and
    the World Rope Skipping Federation (WRSF).

  • Various jump rope organizations that were long-standing for the development of the sport were left out of the merger of IJRU and came under IRSO under the leadership of Richard
    Cendali.

  • [citation needed] Double under [edit] A high basic jump, turning the rope twice under the feet.

  • Turning the rope three times is called a triple under.

  • Perform the basic jump whilst crossing arms in front of the body.

  • So while both feet are still used in the jump, a person may find they can skip for longer than if they were using the basic two-footed technique.

  • In speed events, a jumper alternates their feet with the rope going around the jumper every time one of their feet hits the ground for 30 seconds, one minute, or three minutes.

  • [12] It is a merger of two previous rival world organizations: the International Rope Skipping Federation (FISAC-IRSF), and the World Jump Rope Federation (WJRF).

  • In freestyle events, jumpers use a variety of basic and advanced techniques in a routine of one minute, which is judged by a head judge, content judges, and performance judges.

  • Side swing [edit] The rope is passed by the side of the participant’s body without jumping it.

  • The jumper is judged on the number of times the right foot touches the ground in those times.

  • Leg over / Crougar [edit] A basic jump with one arm hooked under the adjacent leg.

  • Often separated by sex and age, events include hundreds of competitive teams all around the world.

  • The USA Jump Rope Federation and newly formed Asian Rope Skipping Association also joined IRSO and decided to host their World Championship in conjunction with AAU.

  • It is recognized as the official governing body for the sport of jump rope in the United States by IJRU.

    front foot.

  • Competition techniques [edit] Advanced competition technique Double Dutch competition during a steel beach picnic on the ship USS Saipan (LHA-2) In competitions, participants
    are required to demonstrate competence using specific techniques.

  • Observer status is the first step on a clear pathway for new International Federations towards the top of the Olympic Family pyramid.

  • EB (front-back cross or sailor) [edit] Perform the criss-cross whilst crossing one arm behind the back.

  • Many professional trainers, fitness experts, and professional fighters greatly recommend skipping for burning fat over any other alternative exercises like running and jogging.
