Jumps

Garmin Connect IQ datafiled for counting jumps during Jump Rope activities

Download at: Garmin Connect IQ

Setup

THIS IS A DATAFIELD, IT DOES NOT APPEAR UNDER APPS.

• Copy Cardio activity and rename it to "Jump Rope" (or whatever you´d like)
• Add Jumps to your Data Screen (please refer to your watch manual: https://support.garmin.com/support/manuals/searchManuals.faces?refresh=true)
• Start the activity and calibrate the multiplier (jump 100 times and see what´s displayed, then use the formula: multiplier=100/"jumps displayed"
• Adjust multiplier if necessary
• Start jumping!

Features

• Choose between 4 types of data to display: jumps, jumps per minute, seconds per jump, and jumping effect.
• Connect IQ graphs for total jumps, jumps per minute, and seconds per jump
• Connect IQ values for steps (total and lap) and jumping effect.
• Set your goal: choose between jumps or calories. (watch vibrates 5s after goal is reached)

Jumping Effect: indicates how hard you trained.

A value of 100 is equivalent to jumping 20 minutes non-stop at a 120+ jpm pace.

You don´t need to be fast to lose weight, all of these are equivalent in term of calories burned:

• 20 minutes at 120jpm (MET=12.3)
• 21 minutes at 100 jpm (MET=11.8)
• 28 minutes at 80 jpm (MET=8.8)

This index makes it easier to compare how hard your training was with your friends.

This is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent) for rope jumping as a function of the pace. source

Acknowledgment

This datafield is based on the open source PoleSteps to FIT steps datafield with a multiplier. #####A big Thank you to rgergely for making his code available! PoleSteps can be downloaded here: PoleSteps to FIT. The original datafield without the multiplier can be downloaded from this location: Steps to FIT
