Jump Rope Length Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Jump Rope Length.
JRL \approx H + 36
- Where JRL is the Jump Rope Length (in)
- H is your total height (in)
As a common starting estimate for an adjustable jump rope, add 36 inches (3 ft) to your total height, then fine-tune the rope length so that when you stand on the middle of the rope with one foot, the handles reach about armpit height (shorter for speed, longer for beginners).
How to Calculate Jump Rope Length?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Jump Rope Length.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine your total height (in).
- Your total height (in) is given as: 60.
- Finally, calculate the Jump Rope Length using the equation above:
JRL = H + 36
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
JRL = 60 + 36 = 96 (in)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
your total height (in) = 72
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
JRL = H + 36 = ?
