This exercise is quite simple and familiar to many since childhood, when whole companies of guys went out into the yard and organized many hours of entertainment. But how could such an easy at first glance activity become a professional sport? About this in this article.
History of emergence
Jumping rope, and before it by the rope, appeared several hundred years ago. This occupation originated in Ancient Rome and Egypt. Europe resumed after the 5th century AD, and the leap to America came only closer to the 20th century. At the same time, the first competitions, called «Double Dutch», were held. Skipping rope did not become particularly popular and remained only a childish pleasure.
In the middle of the 20th century, in the American city of Boulder, the coach of the football team was not satisfied with the physical data of Richard Kendall. He put it in front of one condition: either 1 hour of walking on the steps,or a quarter of an hour of jumping rope. Then the footballer simply could not choose female entertainment and went to the stairs. At that time, snow fell and it became impossible to climb the steps because of the ice. The athlete has no choice and he took the jump rope. This moment can be considered the origin of the jump.
Richard Kendali left football and seriously engaged in jumping, inventing new elements and ligaments. Soon he began to teach children everything he knew. Students began to invent their own tricks, including with a long jump rope, based on the jump «Double Dutch». Their performances around the world aroused general interest in sports. So, in different countries, rope jumping federations began to appear.
