How does your double-unders stack up? These are the beginner / novice / experienced / intermediate / advanced / elite tiers (higher is better), by sex.

These are Take Point Fitness's own standards, checked against openly licensed research or public test tables where one exists. Each tier is a point on the 0–100 score (50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100), not a population percentile.
Not part of the HABS score — a Take Point Fitness benchmark standard you can score on its own in the calculator.
How to improve your Double-Unders
- Double-unders are timing — practise short, frequent sets with relaxed wrists.
- Use a correctly sized rope and a consistent jump height; fatigue wrecks the rhythm.
- Build calf and ankle endurance so the form holds when you’re tired.
