Jump rope is a widely-applied basic training in various sports, yet it is understudied biomechanically. This study investigates the impact of cycle-tempo-induced motor control changes in elite jump rope athletes, addressing the biomechanical gap of cyclic skill control. The hypothesis posited two accelerations per jump cycle—one in front of and one behind the body—and anticipated that increased cycle frequency would alter the distribution of acceleration time within a cycle. Using 3D motion analysis, kinematic parameters were obtained and analyzed. The results confirmed the presence of two distinct accelerations per cycle. As tempo increased, the percentage of rear acceleration time increased while front acceleration time decreased, along with peak velocities increasing significantly (p<0.01). Rope trajectory analysis indicated a consistent movement pattern across tempos, primarily in the sagittal plane. Variations in skill control showed shorter contact phases and reduced vertical range of motion for the center of gravity and feet at higher tempos (p<0.05), along with significant reductions in joint range of motion for the lower limbs (p<0.01). These findings enhance the understanding of motor control adaptations to different tempos and have practical implications for developing coaching programs aimed at optimizing performance, stability, and efficiency in jump rope training.
... Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan pada kelompok yang diberi perlakuan skiping terdapat peningkatan pada Cardiorespiratory Fitness. Hal tersebut sesuai dengan penelitian yang berjudul "Effectiveness of The Multistage Jumping Rope Program in Enhancing The Physical Fitness Levels Among University Student" mengatakan bahwa efektivitas multistage pada tes lompat tali dapat meningkatkan VO2Max (Dimarucot & Soriano, 2020). Sebaliknya, hasil penelitian yang menunjukkan adanya peningkatan Cardiorespiratory Fitness pada kelompok joging yaitu pada penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Parengkuan Meyke dan Mile Sarjan pada tahun 2021 dengan judul penelitian "Pengaruh Latihan Joging Terhadap (VO2Max)" yang mengatakan bahwa latihan joging akan mempengaruhi konsumsi oksigen seseorang yang dimana dapat diartikan bahwa tingkat VO2Max akan semakin meningkat pula. ...

Physical activity and physical fitness have a vital role in enhancing a healthy and active lifestyle for individuals. This study aimed to see the impact of providing a health-related fitness model on physical improvement and vocational high school students' physical activity. The experimental method with randomized control group pretest-posttest design was applied in this research. The sample selection was based on random cluster sampling to select two classes as the experimental group and the control group consisting of 33 students each, with an age range of 16-17. The instruments used in this study were physical fitness test instruments and students' physical activity tests. The data analysis technique used the Mann-Whitney test and t-test to determine the difference in influence between the experimental and control groups. The results showed that overall, the two groups had a positive impact on the improvement of students' physical fitness and physical activity. However, the experimental class showed a significant increase compared to the control class on the physical fitness variable. Meanwhile, in the physical activity variable, there was no significant difference between the two groups. From these findings, the researchers concluded that the health-related fitness model and the direct instruction model could be applied as an alternative for teachers to improve physical fitness and physical activity for vocational high school students. Furthermore, the researcher explicitly suggests the use of health-related fitness models to improve students' physical fitness.
... Then, athletes who have excess weight also have difficulties in losing weight. A significant difference in the VO2 max of males and females after the multistage jumping rope training program is revealed [13]. According to the previous research conducted by Shinta Paramita (2012:9), even when a group of obese people have completed 12 weeks of Cardio exercises and monitored by the coach, it will not be effective when they do not change their eating patterns. ...
... It "represents the combined ability of (1) the pulmonary system to exchange oxygen between the outside air and the blood circulating through the capillaries in the lung, (2) the cardiovascular system to transport oxygen to the working muscles, and (3) the muscular system to use oxygen." [5] Moreover, it also has mental health benefits along with other long-term effects like improved ability to extract oxygen from air during exercise, increased sweat rate, reduced risk of cancer, and increased density and breaking strength of bones, ligaments, and tendons, among many others. Thus, when one has an ideal cardiovascular endurance level, it would take less effort for that person to fulfill daily routine especially difficult tasks that require more physical exertion [6]. ...
... It was found that the training had significant effects on their cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and muscular strength and endurance [10]. One recent study by Dimarucot and Soriano [5] employed the same fitness test and used the paired t-test to identify the significant difference in the VO 2 max of male and female university students after the jumping rope test. The study attested the effectiveness of the test in increasing their VO 2 max. ...
... Some scholars Heildenberg C. Dimarucot and Gil P. Soriano used in their study Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire+ and assessed cardiovascular endurance through volume of oxygen uptake or VO2 max before and after the multistage training program. They collected profile of the subjects which includes the age in years, sex, height in centimeters, weight in kilograms, and resting heart rate (bpm) (Dimarucot, Soriano, 2020). Other scholars, such as Faruk Salih Şeker and Mehmet Şahin prepared the questionnaire with 26 questions, four questions are intended to examine the biographical features, four are intended to examine the characteristics game, and the remaining 18 are intended to examine the effects on social morality (Şeker, Şahin (2020). ...
