running vs swimming vs jump rope

[like2flip]

30 minutes of running 3 times a week or swimming or jumping rope?

which do you think would be better to go with for tricking?

the reason I ask this is because I feel that jogging/jumping rope might wear my legs out and to where I will not be able to do maximum performance in my crappy sessions *I can do nothing:eh

but I feel that jumping rope might be the best because it *COULD* help with vert? which I am lacking in sadly

DISCUSS?:wink:

You need to increase your strength, not your endurance.

1. Jogging is useless for tricking. Sprints can improve your explosive strength.
2. Swimming..is fun!!!
3. Jumping rope is totally useless since it's an endurance exercice.

alright I know you need strength but I feel that I would use some endurance to be able to have long lasting sessions

even if..
which do you think would benefit tricking most and keep me from being to tired to do max performance

thanks

Swimming has no carry-over and you likely won't be able to maintain any decent intensity with jumping rope, so running by process of elimination. Preferably, sprinting because the high intensity stop and go nature best mimics tricking itself. It also will be many times more effective for developing your vertical leap than jumping rope if very short distances are interspersed into your longer intervals.

Or all of it.

alright i think i will sprint for decently long didstances then :wink:

Swimming works out everything! and is fun. but i dunno if it'll help you jump.

[alex]

You know what will help your jumping? Jumping.

Yeah! Makes sense!

What if i just did multiple box jumps would that be considered and endurence exercise?

+it would help my vert right because thats what i need more than anything my vert is horrible would box continuous box jumps be the best?

Yes, but sprinting would be better. You can control and reach higher intensities better when you can continuously perform a movement.

It might help a bit depending on your recent training history, but the gains will not be sustainable.

200-400 m intervals

thanks chicenarous but what do you mean by the gains wont be sustainable?

[chicanerous]

thanks chicenarous but what do you mean by the gains wont be sustainable?
Sustainable: "The ability to continue/maintain into the future."

The point being that no exercise alone yields sustainable gains, but rather you must have a methodology (e.g. cycling strength with power/speed training). So, if you see gains while your only plan is to jump on boxes, they're going to be small and, after you get them, there won't be more coming.

ohhh i see well im going to be lifting as well

An athletic person will do all of them. Jump rope is good for footwork, calf endurance, rythm, hand-eye coordination. Sprinting is great for leg pushing power. Swimming is great for arms and rest for the core.

I found that swimming helped with my dynamic flexiblity. In high school, I used to practice 2 hrs/day then go to karate in the evening, and I found I could kick a lot higher and easier.

Also, you should swim because it's a pretty hardcore workout. It'll work muslcles you never knew you had lol.

Swimming probably wont help, unless you do b-twists, backflips into the pool etc (Which isn't exactly swimming) But I'd go with swimming because running is boring.

Haha.

Swimming: back and forth, starting at a concrete floor
Running: anywhere your feet can take you

Also, I used to swim competitively. Being a good swimmer has absolutely nothing to do with anything else on land, IME. A good swimmer is a good swimmer and that's it.

Swimming could be made more interesting if you were given more room to do it and stuff.
