Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of rope jumping training on bone mineral density of the heel and health-related physical fitness in female adolescents. Fifty volunteered healthy female adolescents aged between 18 – 20 years old were divided into two were comprised of groups: Rope Jumping Group (RJG; n=25) and Comparison Group (CG; n=25). The RJG group was trained for 20 minutes per day, 3 days a week for 16 weeks. The CG was educated on health care for adolescent 2 times during the study, for two hours each session.  Assessment was performed at baseline and after training program in bone mineral density and health-related physical that fitness were statistically analyzed by using Mean, Standard Deviation and t-test. The level of significance was considered at the p<0.05. After 16 weeks of rope jumping training, the intervention group showed statistically significant improvement in health-related physical fitness scores when compared to those in the comparison group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference of bone mineral density among the intervention group and the comparison group (p>0.05).
