Compared with other aerobic exercises, skipping rope is easy to carry and is not limited by the venue. For skipping rope, which is a serious homogenization and low technology content of fast sports products, there are many dazzling ones on the market. Skipping rope needs to repeatedly beat the ground during jumping, and whether the rope body is durable, convenient and easy to use is an important criterion to measure its quality.
Adidas is the world's second-largest sporting goods giant and has a presence in many sports. Although the jump rope is not the category that Adidas has devoted the most efforts to, and the material is not special, in terms of design and use, it is enough to stand out from other similar products, and it is still the preferred jump rope brand for NBA players' daily training.
In recent years, Adidas has made great improvements in terms of materials, both in terms of durability and ease of use, and the experience is better than before. At present, there are five main products on sale: 11017/12234/11011/11016/11015. The first two are the introductory and advanced versions of the bearing skipping rope, which are suitable for daily fitness. The latter three are the entry-level, advanced, and expert models for racing rope skipping, which are suitable for professional competition training.
The entry-level 11017 rope body is made of solid natural rubber material, because of its high strength, excellent fracture resistance and good wear resistance, it is more suitable for beginners to use every day than other materials, and the weight is only 100g, which is the lightest among Adidas' skipping rope products, priced at 79 yuan. The advanced 12234 adds a non-slip sponge at the tail, which is more stable than the 11017 in terms of feel, and its rope body is made of TPR thermoplastic rubber, which has the characteristics of rubber and plastic, and has excellent elasticity, although it is not as wear-resistant as the TPU material on the market, but it is environmentally friendly and has no peculiar smell. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the white powder substance on the TPR rubber skipping rope is actually "talcum powder", which is used to prolong the service life of the rubber and play a role in cooling, rather than dust and dirt.
Racing skipping rope pursues speed more than ordinary skipping rope, and this improvement also has higher requirements for the wear resistance of the handle. As an entry-level model for racing, the 11011 has a significantly higher rotating axis than the bearing skipping rope, and the speed is faster and smoother. The 11016 and 11015 shafts are made of stainless steel balls, which adjusts the smoothness of the skipping rope to the best state. These two racing ropes, the rope body is different, the former uses polymer-coated steel wire, the weight is lighter, the shaking speed is faster, but the wear resistance is not as thick as the latter's PU coated steel wire, the shaking feel is more powerful, more suitable for athletes or sports enthusiasts who pursue a good experience, the price is about 129 yuan.
