Does jump roping help you get faster?

Question

i read somewhere that jump roping makes you faster. Is it true?

Answer 1

yes, jumping rope strengthens ur legs so u will b able to run faster, and helps with  long jump and high jump,also, helps build stamina,

Answer 2

Jump rope can help but not as much as simply running more.  I only jump rope to get myself warmed up before I go on a run.  But, I would never say I am a faster or better runner because of jump roping.

Answer 3

Jump ropink makes your legs strongr if you jump rope a lot because your jumping up and down super fast, but it will only make your legs stronger if you do it really fast, but strong egs make u run a lot faster, so if yor legs get strong from that, then yes!

Answer 4

yes, it actually can. because you're jumping up and down quickly multiple times, it triggers and strengthens your fast twitch muscles. which basically means jump roping helps you get faster (and stronger!)
