Tests and questionnaires were conducted before and right after the intervention, and a questionnaire survey was conducted again half a year after the intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results showed that the standing long jump performance and the cardiopulmonary function in the jogging group were significantly improved after the intervention, the average score of standing long jump increased from 72.00 to 76.45 and the mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 125.07 to 121.24 (<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f3.048, 2.139, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> =\u202f0.005, 0.041). The scores of 800 or 1,000 meters and the total scores of physical test in the rope skipping group and the control group were decreased significantly. The improvement of standing long jump performance in the jogging group was significantly higher than that in the control group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The main reason for the decline in the rope skipping group may be due to insufficient strength. Jogging differs from rope skipping in terms of muscle focus, arm-swinging style, nature of the exercise, and the associated exercise mood. As a result, after short-term training, jogging has a more positive significance than skipping rope in maintaining and improving physical fitness and cardiopulmonary function. If you want to improve your physical fitness in a shorter period of time, then jog.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2025.1570768","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,8]],"date-time":"2025-04-08T05:35:58Z","timestamp":1744090558000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Differential
