Jumping ability is a learned skill which can be influenced by such factors as: genetics, diet, exercise, muscle development through weight training and practice. I'm sure there are other factors, but hopefully this is a start.

How do you speed jump in jump rope?

Speed jump is when you jump from one foot to another while jumping the rope. You start on one foot and when you switch to the other you bring the rope under yourself and jump it. Some people mistake something I call gallop jump which is when you only jump the rope every other time you switch feet so only one of your two feet ever jumps the rope. As you get better you can go faster and faster. At competitions judges count only the right foot because some people go very fast and it would be almost impossible to count every foot. This score is then doubled by two to get the total number of jumps you took.
