What does jump roping do for boxers?
Helps them stay light on their feet and builds stamina. I think it is predominately used to build foot work.

Reply:It would strengthen their feet and calf muscles, so they can be quicker jumping around the ring.

Reply:jump roping works out your heart most of all which ur right its stamina mainly cardiovascular and crap but in the ring all they do is move and if your hearts not used to supplying blood at a profuse rate, then ur gonna tire out quickly and in jumproping, all you do is MOVE
Reply:It gets them hyped up before games and when they do it during practices it gets there muscles flexed up so when they're on the ring they're not to stiff. Basically what it does is it's a form of warm up and flex's the muscles in the legs.

Reply:It helps with wind, but works on being light on your feet and foot speed
Reply:The main reason boxers jump rope is to develop the fast twitch muscle fibres in the calves. These muscles are needed to move fluidly around the ring and switch direction quickly. Skipping also improves co-ordination (another essential to boxing). It can also be used to develop both aerobic (long skip) and anaearobic (interval speed skip) conditioning. Skipping also comes in handy when a boxer is trying to sweat down. You can take a rope into a sauna, but not a treadmill!
