The issue of rope skipping as a method of fitness training is highly relevant to the community. A daily 10 minutes workout of rope skipping was found to be as good as 30 minutes of jogging a day (Tibor et al. 1986). Studies on rope skipping focus on energy expenditure (Glenn et al. 1980), working intensity (William et al. 1981), or movement kinematics (John et al. 1986). Information about EMG responses during rope kipping is lacking. Little is known about the effects of rope skipping on movement co-ordination in children. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of eight weeks of rope skipping exercise on the movement co-ordination in school children in terms of EMG responses of some involved muscle groups.
