FAQ:
- I cannot find the app on my watch after installation | This is NOT AN APP but a datafield, see setup below.
- The jump count stays at 0 | Be sure to have "Activity Tracking" on, please refer to your watch manual.


## Garmin Connect IQ datafield for counting jumps during Jump Rope activities

### Setup (links for Vivoactive 4, all manuals can be found here: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/ql/?focus=manuals)
THIS IS A DATAFIELD, IT DOES NOT APPEAR UNDER APPS.
- Copy Cardio activity and rename it to "Jump Rope" (or whatever you´d like)
https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/vivoactive4_4S/EN-US/GUID-1E365EB2-6BC1-4E25-96D9-5D4742A56BF0.html
- Add Jumps to your Data Screen (found under category CIQ-field)
https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/vivoactive4_4S/EN-US/GUID-C6CF3D4D-4671-4EAD-95D7-83F52C2B51CD.html
- Start the activity and calibrate the multiplier (jump 100 times and see what´s displayed, then use the formula: multiplier=100/"jumps displayed"
- Adjust multiplier if necessary
Go to Connect IQ app on your phone, select Jumps, settings, multiplier
- Start jumping!

### Description
This datafield is based on the open source [PoleSteps to FIT](https://github.com/rgergely/polesteps) steps datafield with a multiplier. The multiplier can be configured through the Connect IQ phone application or the Garmin Express PC software.
The differences are:
* jumps counted instead of steps
* Connect IQ graphs for total jumps, jumps per minute, and seconds per jump
* Jumping Effect (see explanation below)
* Choose between 4 types of data to display: jumps, jumps per minute, seconds per jump, and jumping effect (also displayed in summary/charts)

##### Jumping Effect: indicates how hard you trained.
A value of 100 is equivalent to jumping 20 minutes non-stop at a 120+ jpm pace.

You don´t need to be fast to lose weight, all of these are equivalent in term of calories burned:
 * 20 minutes at 120jpm (MET=12.3)
 * 21 minutes at 100 jpm (MET=11.8)
 * 28 minutes at 80 jpm (MET=8.8)
 
This index makes it easier to compare how hard your training was with your friends.

This is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent) for rope jumping as a function of the pace.
