Workout Description
Maximum number of double-unders completed in 2 minutes.
Why This Workout Is Medium
Tests jump rope skill, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance over a fixed time.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (7/10): Requires considerable calf, wrist, and shoulder muscular endurance to sustain double-unders for 2 minutes. Coordination stamina (maintaining rhythm and timing under fatigue) is also heavily taxed.
- Speed (7/10): High rope speed and jump turnover are essential for maximizing reps in a 2-minute window. Consistency and minimizing trips are key.
- Endurance (6/10): A 2-minute test of max double-unders is a significant cardiovascular challenge, testing anaerobic and aerobic capacity while maintaining a high-skill movement.
- Power (5/10): Each double-under involves a plyometric jump. Maintaining this explosive effort repeatedly for 2 minutes tests power-endurance.
- 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.
Modality Profile
A test of monostructural endurance (jumping rope) with a significant gymnastics skill component (coordination, timing).
