Is Jump Rope Bad for Your Knees?

Описание: This controversial question comes up over and over again on a variety of jump rope message boards so we thought we'd tackle it head on.

The short answer as to whether jumping rope is bad for your knees is "it depends" but the more optimistic answer is "no" provided you adhere to certain guidelines. And if you do experience knee pain while jumping rope it's best not to self diagnose. Consider seeking the opinion of a qualified medical professional such as an orthopedist or physical therapist.

In this video we're going to look at the 6 main culprits that can have an adverse impact on your knees, namely:

1) technique
2) volume
3) surface
4) footwear
5) strength
6) rope selection

And if you’re looking for a mat to dampen your impact we love this one from Dollamur: https://dollamur.com/flexi-rollr-mat-...
