Abstract
Purpose: Jumping rope is associated with higher physical performance and stable physical health. The aim of this research was to investigate effect of intermittent and continuous jumping rope on the physical fitness factors of healthy adolescent girls.
Methods: This research was a semi-experimental and field type. The statistical population of the present study included primary school healthy adolescent girls of the Soltaniyeh city. Subjects were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into two groups of 15 individuals for intermittent and continuous roping exercises. Physical fitness factors for girls were measured before and after eight weeks training. Data analysis was done by variance analysis with repeated measurement at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results showed a significant difference in the group factor of jumping rope exercises for shoulder girdle muscles endurance in adolescent girls (P=0.022). The shoulder girdle muscles endurance was higher in the intermittent roping group compared to the continuous roping group.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, positive effects of intermittent roping compared to continuous were observed for some indicators of physical fitness. Intermittent roping can be a suitable sport for adolescent girls at schools.
