Skipping rope not only enhances cardiopulmonary function, but also helps reduce weight and burn fat!

Skipping rope is a simple and easy exercise that not only enhances cardiopulmonary function, but can also help lose weight, burn fat and reduce appetite. A study conducted by Yang Ming University in Taiwan pointed out that if children jump rope for 30 minutes every day for 20 weeks, their autonomic nervous system will be improved and their learning ability will be enhanced. According to the British Daily Mail, a study by the Department of Physical Education at Waseda University in Japan also found that skipping rope is better than other exercises in reducing appetite and hunger.

Rope skipping reduces appetite and has a good effect on weight loss

In a study published in the journal Appetite, conducted by Waseda University in Japan, the aim was to understand whether there was a connection between exercise and appetite suppression. Cycling and rope skipping were chosen for comparison. The subjects in their 20s were asked to fast for 12 hours and then divided into groups for three experiments. The first group repeated the pattern of skipping rope for 10 minutes and resting for 5 minutes 3 times, and then rested for 2 hours. Another group performed the same exercise but rode bicycles instead; and the third group did no exercise at all.

After the experiment, the subjects were asked to answer questionnaires related to appetite and had their blood drawn to test hormone levels in the body, such as ghrelin, which can stimulate appetite. The results showed that people in the skipping rope group felt less hungry. Researchers said that compared with riding a bicycle, skipping rope will make the joints and body muscles constantly receive impact, which is a weight-bearing exercise and is more effective in losing weight and controlling appetite.

Jumping rope will constantly impact the joints and body muscles. It is a weight-bearing exercise and is more effective in losing weight and controlling appetite.

Jumping rope can consume about 1,300 calories per hour, which is equivalent to jogging for 3 hours or aerobics for 2 hours. This exercise can achieve the effect of burning a lot of fat. However, you should also pay attention to mastering the correct posture and adopting gradual practice to avoid overloading your heart and lungs.
