美国专家认为“跳绳不仅仅适合于6岁左右的儿童，亦适合于各种年龄段之成人，其作用不仅可以强心，亦可增加眼-手-脚之协调性，故值得推崇。”那么如何进行跳绳锻炼才能够达到最好的效果，同时又可避免不必要的伤害呢？请注意以下几个要点：

1、轻轻抓住绳子两端的把手；

2、尽可能将您的肘关节贴近躯干和放松双肩；

3、双膝关节应该微微弯曲；

4、借助双侧手腕的力量挥动绳子；

5、抬头挺胸；

6、不要跳得过高，以减轻跳绳过程中对双膝、双踝等关节的冲击力。

Health Tip: Jumping Rope for Exercise

Start on the right foot

 (HealthDay News) -- Jumping rope is no longer just for 6-year-old girls. Experts say it's a great way to exercise your heart, and it can improve eye-hand-foot coordination.

The American Council on Exercise offers these suggestions for jump ropers who are just starting out:

• Keep a light grip on the handles.
• Hold your elbows close to your body and keep your shoulders relaxed.
• Keep your knees slightly bent.
• Use your wrist to turn the rope and create a smooth arc in the rope as it swings over your head.
• Maintain good posture with your head up and back straight.
• Don't jump too high. This will help reduce impact on knees and ankles
