Workout Description
Maximum number of consecutive (unbroken) double-unders.
Why This Workout Is Medium
Tests jump rope skill, coordination, and consistency.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (6/10): Tests calf, wrist, and shoulder muscular endurance to maintain unbroken double-unders. Coordination stamina (maintaining rhythm and timing) is crucial for achieving high numbers.
- Speed (6/10): Consistent rope speed and jump turnover are essential for stringing together many unbroken double-unders. Rhythm and timing are key components of this speed.
- Endurance (4/10): Moderate cardiovascular demand depending on the number of reps achieved. Primarily tests skill proficiency and localized muscular endurance.
- Power (4/10): Each double-under involves a plyometric jump. The test is more about sustained skill than peak power output.
- Flexibility (3/10): Good wrist and shoulder mobility helps with efficient rope rotation. Ankle flexibility for jumping.
- Strength (1/10): Minimal maximal strength required. Focus is on skill, coordination, and specific muscular endurance for the movement.
Modality Profile
Identical stimulus to the 2-minute test: primarily monostructural cardio with a high skill ceiling.
