"Did you jump today?" This phrase has almost taken the primary school community by storm lately. Overnight, in various communication groups, as long as there is a topic about skipping rope, it will affect the hearts of many old mothers. The skipping rope training class jumped to the throne of the "new Internet celebrity" of off-campus training, because of the zero threshold, high demand, and more importantly, it is also a mandatory project for the intramural sports examination. Search for jump rope training keywords on the Internet, the price varies, some as low as 90 yuan a lesson, some one-on-one each lesson 30 minutes as high as 350 yuan. What are the causes and consequences behind the upsurge of skipping rope training classes? Is skipping rope training a must for every child?
More than half of a class attends an off-campus skipping rope training class
In the WeChat activity group spontaneously organized by the school's parents, solitaires are rapidly generated. "In the blink of an eye, nearly ten solitaires have been updated." Ms. Wang, a parent, told reporters that her children are in the fourth grade this year, although from kindergarten, teachers have been teaching children to jump rope, before going to primary school, children have been able to jump more than a dozen times at a time. Since entering elementary school, the school has also attached great importance to sports, and also made jump rope a special sports item for the grade. "Although everyone knows that jump rope is valued, because the teacher really looks at the jump rope and regards the jump rope as an indispensable family sports homework, but in recent times, this jump rope has swept the parent circle with lightning speed, and there are already different parents around me who have invited the team to ask the coach." Ms. Wang said that in addition to art, her children have never enrolled in any extracurricular classes, and this time is an exception. It was immediately "Amway". "The teaching time is flexible, the venue is flexible, the equipment is simple, and the practice is convenient."
"I was already in hindsight, and when I first joined, I found that half of the students in the class were asking the coach to increase the amount of practice jump rope." Ms. Chen, a parent, said that she couldn't understand why such a simple jump rope had to ask a coach, and then she did some homework herself, and finally found some answers that seemed reasonable: "Jump rope can practice coordination, flexibility, aerobic exercise, which has a certain help for the improvement of cardiopulmonary function, and can also lay the foundation for the full body cooperation required for badminton and swimming in the future."
The average price of teaching skipping rope is about 100 yuan per lesson
Skipping rope training, which can be learned anytime and anywhere without space restrictions, does not seem to be low in charge compared to other subjects that require classrooms, field rent or interest class training.
According to the Nandu reporter's investigation, usually a large class (5 people to 10 people) a class of 60 minutes, the price is about 90-100 yuan per person per lesson; and one-on-one courses, each lesson 30 minutes, the fee can reach 300-350 yuan. The reporter saw in one of the enrollment brochures provided by parents that in terms of the number and fees, the number of people can be 6 people, each person per lesson 90 yuan, less than 6 people need to share 540 yuan per class, 8 lessons, if it is the first class, you must buy a set (2) 78 yuan of sand jump rope. Because it is a door-to-door teaching, there is no refund for late leave without making up for classes. In terms of teaching locations, coaches come to teach classes, and the venue is provided by parents, which is required to be sheltered from rain, open and flat enough, such as classes at night, to ensure that it is bright enough.
Some coaches also said that the training class was mixed and grouped, and kindergarten classes, primary and secondary school students, and adults could all sign up. The fee is: only 1 session tuition fee is 200 yuan, the upper 5 lessons are 180 yuan per section, and the upper 10 sections are 150 yuan per section.
At the Guangzhou Sports Center, there are several skipping rope classes every week. The reporter found that the youngest age is still the kindergarten middle class. "Let the child exercise more, grow tall and lose weight." A mother laughed and said that at home, she could not supervise her child to jump rope, and it was good to let the coach spur it at a fixed time every week.

"Some parents are worried that their actions are not standardized, and they teach their children to develop wrong habits and actions at home, and it is difficult to correct them later, so they choose to ask professional teachers to train their children at the beginning." Between exercises, a coach was busy sneaking a chat with reporters. According to him, the children who have been in contact with can basically learn to jump rope in two or three classes, "We generally let the children do warm-up exercises first, do some basic physical training, then teach jump rope, and finally teach some basic fancy jump rope." Children learn to jump rope a lot is not in the right posture. Especially the wrist movements, they don't know how to use their wrists to swing the rope back and forth in a circle. ”
Skipping rope into the physical test has become one of the main reasons for teaching jump rope to be hot
"One-minute skipping rope is currently a compulsory test item for primary school students' physical fitness tests across the country." This is a "sharp weapon" for the enrollment of many jump rope training courses.
In the past 20 years, the country's requirements for skipping rope have changed significantly. The reporter combed and found that since 2007, the Ministry of Education and the State General Administration of Sports promulgated the "National Student Physical Health Standards", jump rope for the first time as a college, primary and secondary school sports selection test project, compared with the same optional test project of 50 meters running, standing long jump and foot basket volleyball three balls, jump rope is still unpopular. However, after the implementation of the "National Student Physical Health Standards (Revised in 2014)", skipping rope has become a compulsory test item at the primary school level.
The 2014 edition of the National Standards for the Physical Health of Students stipulates that "1-minute jump rope" is the test content of primary schools from 1 to 6 grades, and from the first to the fourth grade, the jump rope score accounts for 20% of the total physical education score; the fifth and sixth grades have decreased due to the addition of 50 meters ×8 round-trip running, but still account for 10% of the weight. The total academic year's score for the student's physical fitness standard consists of a standard score of 100 points and an additional score of 20 points, with a maximum score of 120 points. In the primary school stage, the high indicator that can get 20 additional points is 1 minute jump rope.
The policy's urging for jump rope heat continues. Last month, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Physical Education Work in the New Era. Wang Dengfeng, director of the Department of Physical Education, Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education, once said that the school's physical education examination should continue to summarize experience, increase the score value year by year, and reach the level of the same score as the number of words. This news will undoubtedly prompt more primary and secondary school students to enter the track of test-taking sports.
The pressure to go to school and sports anxiety have become the main reasons for the survival of off-campus sports training classes
Will sports follow in the footsteps of disciplines such as English and English, and be involved in a competitive upsurge of off-campus training? Nandu reporters visited some schools in Guangzhou and found that skipping rope has actually become a normal sport in primary and secondary schools. In the primary schools in the central city of Guangzhou, almost every student must jump rope every day to go to school, and jump rope is almost an indispensable item in the school's one-hour physical exercise time every day.
"There are fewer conditions restricted by the venue equipment, and it is also a sports project of the middle school entrance examination, starting from the primary school, and it is timely." A physical education teacher at Xingang Middle Road Primary School in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, said that in addition to improving physical flexibility and flexibility and promoting hand-foot coordination, skipping rope can also be a good substitute for endurance running and other projects to exercise students' cardiopulmonary function and endurance. To a certain extent, this alleviates the problem caused by the shortage of school sports venues in the central urban area.

A small jump rope can solve a variety of problems in physical fitness practice, which makes many schools favor this sport. Tianhe District Changle Primary School, Ke Mu Yuan Primary School, Huangpu District Donghui Garden Primary School, Huadu District Shigang Primary School, Huadu District Qixing Primary School and other schools, have jumped out of many famous halls with jump rope.
Taking Seven Star Elementary School as an example, Cen Xiaolin, who is called "lightspeed teenager" by the media, is from the school. Cen Xiaolin has set world records many times and become an international star in the jump rope industry who came out of a rural primary school. In addition to Cen Xiaolin, Seven Star Primary School has stepped out of more than 20 jump rope world champions in recent years.
In the rural primary schools with rudimentary sports equipment, they can still shine in international sports competitions, which shows from the side that jumping rope is not difficult for Chinese students. "We rely on the usual physical education class training, plus recess sports, and almost 100% of the fourth graders can get full marks on the jump rope." Lai Xuanzhi, a physical education teacher and jump rope coach at Qixing Primary School, told reporters, "Jumping rope is not difficult, anxiety, is the biggest problem for parents. Lai Xuanzhi said that in the past, parents attached importance to cultural classes, as soon as there was time to send their children to make up classes, make-up classes squeezed out the exercise time that children should have, the lack of exercise in the past, now to improve the physical education score, so that parents have an inexplicable anxiety about sports, there is pressure to go to school, and can only rely on physical education training classes outside the school.
A physical education teacher and researcher told Nandu reporter that sports, like the cultural department, in addition to listening to lectures in the school classroom, it is necessary to carry out the necessary after-school homework in order to consolidate the knowledge in the classroom. If you only listen to lectures in class, it is certainly not possible to practice after class. "If you want to master any sport, you need enough practice time."
Is there a need to enroll in the sport of skipping rope? Lai Xuanzhi said, "Jump rope is a compulsory project in the school physical education class, teachers will guide students, in addition, there are many jump rope tutorials on the Internet, insist on jumping for 20 minutes a day, it is not difficult to get full scores." ”
