Effects of high-intensity interval rope-skipping on cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and enjoyment in young adults.
Trial report in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectiveRope skipping is a cost-effective, moderate-to-vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise. While high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) are known to improve cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in labs, their effects in free-living conditions with rope skipping in young adults are unclear. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of HIIE and MICE using rope skipping on CRF, body composition, and enjoyment in young adults. SUBJECTS/
methodsFifty-nine healthy adults (29 females; aged 21.7 ± 2.5 years) were randomly assigned to HIIE (9 × 2-min bouts at 80% HRmax with 1-min active recovery), MICE (30-min at 70% HRmax), or a non-exercise control group (CONT). HIIE sessions occurred three times weekly, MICE five times weekly, over 8 weeks. Maximal oxygen uptake (a measure of CRF) was assessed both before and after the intervention. Enjoyment was evaluated using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale following the first and final sessions.
resultsAfter 8 weeks, both HIIE [48.4 (43.9, 52.9) mL/kg/min; mean (95%CI)] and MICE [47.2 (43.1, 51.1) mL/kg/min] groups showed significantly better CRF than pretest [43.8 (38.8, 48.8) mL/kg/min, p < 0.001, and 42.2 (38.1, 46.2) mL/kg/min, p < 0.001, respectively] and the CONT group [39.9 (37.0, 42.8) mL/kg/min, p < 0.001, η
conclusionHIIE and MICE using rope skipping similarly enhanced CRF and provided comparable enjoyment in young adults. HIIE could be a time-efficient alternative to MICE for those with limited exercise time. CLINICAL
