Abstract

Rope skipping is a simple practice which provides strength and stamina and also enhance athlete’s performance. Identifying the optimum rope skipping techniques to boost athlete’s performance and minimize risk of injuries is crucial. In this study, the effect of various skipping techniques on the dynamic of human body motion during landing and jumping phase was investigated. Sixth teen male and female subjects performed three types of skipping techniques; bounce, alternate step and bell jump. Vertical ground reaction force, knee joint kinematics and kinetics were recorded during exercise by using the Qualisys motion capture system. There were no significant differences between gender in knee flexion angle, but significant in different types of skipping techniques. However, a significant difference in peak vertical ground reaction force was shown between gender and types of skipping. A linear relationship is shown between taking off velocity, jump height and percentage of ground reaction force per body weight. These findings suggest that the alternate step jump is the best skipping technique for all to practice which may prevent anterior cruciate ligament risk injury with a consistent landing posture.
