a) The number of forward skips you can do in 30 seconds
To
b) The number of backward skips you can do in the next 30 seconds
(stopwatch stays on and the 60 seconds is continuous)
See descriptions below ...
SKIPPING
- Every person skips alone
- Pupil may skip with both feet together or by 'jogging' over the rope one foot at a time
- When timer shouts 'change' at 30 seconds, skipper must immediately transfer from forward skipping to backward skipping
- Total continuous skipping time stops at 60 seconds
NB Skipper can stop as many times as they like within the 60 seconds and then continue counting from where they left off eg if they rest at '25' they continue with '26, 27' etc however, the more times they stop, the less time they have to skip!
TIP: It´s a good idea to keep your back straight and your arms as close to your sides as possible but there is no rule on this
Be strict with yourself - keep practising. The world record is 188 forward skips in 30 seconds!! If you manage 1/4 of this you are doing well.
