What is "jump rope"?
Jump rope is a physical activity and game where one or more players jump over a rope that is swung under their feet and over their heads. The rope is either turned by two people or by the player themselves, and the goal is to jump over it without tripping. Jump rope can be played individually or in a group, with players challenging themselves to jump in different patterns or for longer periods of time. It is an excellent exercise for improving coordination, balance, and cardiovascular health. Jump rope is popular among children and is often used for fun or as part of fitness routines.
