A rope is a group of yarns, plies, fibres, or wires that are twisted or braided together into a large and strong shape. Ropes have tensile strength and hence can be used for dragging and lifting. The rope is thicker and stronger than similarly made rope, wire and twine.
Filament ropes made from ductile metals or synthetic polymers differ from natural fibre ropes in that a particular filament that contributes to the rope's shape runs the entire length of the rope. A thicker filament or wire is stiffer than a finer wire of the same material. Its use results in a tighter rope for a given size.
Regular rope exercises will gradually improve mobility in your grip as well as mobility in your shoulders, hips, core, knees, ankles and feet. By promoting mobility, your training will be more effective and everyday activities will be easier to perform. The texture and nature of the rope is determined by the colour, fineness, stiffness, strength and stretchability of the fibres or filaments used in its construction. For example, cotton ropes are softer, weaker and stretchier than manila or sisal ropes. Manila ropes are stronger than hemp or jute ropes for a given size. Because even short fibres can be spun into long flexible yarns, virtually any fibre can be made into rope Rope can be made of natural fibres (eg hemp, manila hemp, linen, cotton, coir, jute, straw, sisal, etc.) or synthetic fibres (eg polypropylene, nylon, polyester, polyethene, acrylic, etc.). Historically, the type of fibre used depended on what was available locally.
A standard wire rope design has three basic components: 1) the wires that make up the strands, 2) multiwire strands laid helically around a core, and 3) the core. A compound consists of a number of "strands", the strand itself being made up of a number of single threads of yarn. Twisted ropes are the most common and traditional type of rope. Typically, twisted ropes are made from natural materials such as cotton, hemp or jute, and consist of two, three or more thick strands made of many plant fibres.
