II. Exercise and Assessment

Important to know:

● Rope jumping has been used as a rehabilitation exercise for injured athletes searching for a
progressive method to get back in shape while minimizing impact. Rope jumping strengthens
muscles that support the tendons and ligaments of the knees, feet, and ankles. Strengthening
these supporting muscle groups reduces injury risk and contributes to recovery after injury. This
strategy—strengthening muscles and muscle groups that support injured joints, tendons, or
ligaments—is practiced in most rehabilitation programs.
● Using a weighted jump rope, the patient can more easily "feel" where the rope is in space,
allowing them to improve their jump rope awareness and rope control much more rapidly.

Preparation:

- Properly measure the length of the rope for the activity

- The PT will demonstrate the jump rope skill first to the patient.

- The patient will try to execute one jumping skill at a time while being facilitated by the
PT.

- During the test, we will get to see how many jumps she/he can perform during the
said activity.

- Perform each jumping skill and record the number of jumps made.

III. Pictures during the Activity

 IV. Physics involve in this activity. Enumerate at least 5 Physics Principles.

• Gravity

• Acceleration and Deceleration

• Angular Momentum

• Elasticity

• Inertia

V. Site position or activities in which this physics principle applies. Explain how the principle is applied.

• Gravity - Gravity plays a significant role in jumping rope, as it determines the speed at which the rope
descends and the force required to lift the body off the ground.

• Acceleration and Deceleration - Jumping rope involves rapid acceleration and deceleration of the body
with each jump.

• Angular Momentum - As the rope rotates around the body, it generates angular momentum.

• Elasticity - The elasticity of the rope influences its ability to rebound off the ground and maintain
tension during jumps.

• Inertia - Inertia, the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, affects the ease with which the
rope can be swung and manipulated by the jumper.

Observation

- I observed that jumping is a good conditioning exercise. The patient can perform different types
of jumping and he can also execute towards the goal. I also observed that a jumping rope is
common equipment that even a child can determined it.

Analysis

- Jumping rope is a versatile and effective exercise with numerous physical and mental health
benefits. When performed with proper technique and safety precautions, it can be a valuable
addition to any fitness.

Conclusion

- Therefore I conclude that a jumping is a transparent equipment and also a type of

equipment for conditioning. It’s like that a jumping rope is a multipurpose equipment and
recommended for all ages.
