SKIPPING ROPES

摘要

Skipping ropes are described with angled handles. One usually longer portion (1) is held between palm and fingers. A second portion (2) is angled and has a swivel mounted rope (5) projecting from its end. When skipping, the hands can be held with the palms facing the skipper's thighs, but with the rope ends pointing outwards. This is a more comfortable skipping position than the customary one with the hands splayed outwards.
