Co-ordination, rhythm. Floyd Mayweather certainly has rhythm, even dancing lessons is a good thing to do, for co-ordination.

yeah, it's aerobic endurance (can also be anaerobic endurance if you do sprints in place), it works your upper and lower body and increases agility.

use weighted handles and it works your shoulders as well as the other mentions.

The shoulders and traps and calves will strengthen. Cardiovascular, balance, coordination, speed/foot work and strength like I mentioned (with heavy rope even more). It's an excellent exercise for almost every sport.

I despise jumping rope. It's basically the least favorite part of my exercise.

I put in my 3 or 4 rounds and thank God when it's over.
