Regular jump rope exercise leads to weight loss in adults.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that regular jump rope exercise leads to weight loss in adults?

Partly. A Cleveland Clinic source says jumping rope can help with weight loss as part of a well-rounded exercise program and healthy diet, and a small trial found jump-rope HIIT improved body composition in obese young adults. However, a meta-analysis in preadolescents found no significant body-morphology advantage from jumping rope, and no retrieved item directly measures weight loss from regular jump rope exercise in adults.
