"Be more explosive, lighter on the supports and better absorb the repetition of your efforts". For the head of the centre of athletic performance at the Red Star Academy, Aurélien Marchési, the jump rope is an effective tool and too often forgotten by footballers in their physical preparation. "Extensive plyometrics are rare in the training routines of the players, while just 5-10 minutes before the start of the training session can be enough to develop elasticity and contact endurance". The specialist expands on the list of its athletic benefits: "It strengthens the tendons and fascia essential to absorb and restore energy, uses the calves and the plantar arch and optimizes running economy by learning to bounce with a minimum of effort". So there are many reasons to integrate the jump rope into your program.
