WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -As early as the Egyptians and aborigines of Australia, vines and flexible bamboo found in the jungles were combined with jumping as a form of play. These movements practiced together to mastery eventually took shape and emerged into an art form that we refer as Jump Rope or rope jumping.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jumping rope is simple and safe enough to introduce to kids as young as three. Before age five, they’ll mostly be getting familiar with the rope and motions. Once they reach ages 5 and 6, they’ll likely be able to start swinging the rope overhead and landing multiple jumps in a row.

Detailed explanation-3: -Material-Typically made out of either cotton, nylon or polyester, and are usually braided to keep them from tangling. Although they do sometimes have plastic or wooden handles, many cloth skipping ropes simply have knots or finger holes on either side.

Detailed explanation-4: -There is not much written history of the sport, but it can be traced back as far as the 1600s in China (Rope Skipping History, 2015). It was a pastime that many of the children took part in during the Chinese New Year’s Festivals. Jump rope came across the Atlantic with the Dutch in the late 1600s.
