Benefits of swimming and skipping rope

Swimming is good for improving lung function. The density of water is more than 800 times higher than that of air, and the pressure of people in water is much greater than that in air. As the pressure in the chest and abdominal cavity increases in water, the respiratory muscles are forced to breathe with greater force. Regular swimming can increase the strength of respiratory muscles and improve the function of respiratory system.

Jumping rope is a systemic exercise, which requires good coordination of upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk to complete the action, and all joints, muscles and ligaments are also involved.

Skipping rope can not only effectively increase the strength of ankle-knee ligament and lower limb muscles, but also ensure the coordinated development of upper and lower limb muscles, reduce fat, and improve the body's responsiveness and flexibility. Skipping rope can also strengthen cardiopulmonary function and increase vital capacity.

Precautions for skipping rope:

Wear soft and light high heels to avoid ankle injury. The rope should be moderate in hardness and thickness. Beginners should use hard ropes, and they can change to soft ropes after proficiency. It is best to choose lawn, wood floor and mud with moderate hardness, and never do it on hard cement floor to avoid damaging joints and causing dizziness. When skipping rope, you need to relax muscles and joints, coordinate toes and heels, and prevent sprains.
