Does doing jumprope really increase your speed?

Question

How many do I have to do a day to get 5.0 in a 50 yard dash.

If it doesn't then how to I become faster without using any equipment other than a trindmill.?

Answer 1

Jumproping will just improve your coordination and endurance. For speed work you need to do intervals, hills, or even parachute sprinting.

Answer 2

Jumprope is excellent for a multitude of things like strengthening..but for speed you have to do sprints, fartlets,and tempo runs.....Running hills and running outside will get you faster....mile repeats with minimal rests....

Answer 3

all plyometrics and isometric plyometrics help, but it isnt going to be the difference.They should be a part of grand scheme. box jumps are good too.

The other thing that makes you fast is RUNNING FAST
