Sundays on Cycle 87th Edition Brings Fitness and Community Together
The Sundays on Cycle 87th Edition provided participants with an opportunity to come together through physical activity and community participation.
The event took place at 6:00 AM at Major Dhyan Chand Stadium in New Delhi, encouraging participants to begin their Sunday with an active and healthy start.
Cycling and rope skipping both represent accessible forms of physical activity that can contribute to an active lifestyle. By bringing these activities together, the event created an environment centred around movement, fitness and community.
IRSF Brings Rope Skipping to Sundays on Cycle
A key part of the event was the participation of the Indian Rope Skipping Federation, which brought rope skipping into the Sundays on Cycle movement.
Through Rope Skipping Sundays, IRSF continues to promote rope skipping as an enjoyable and energetic form of physical activity.
Rope skipping combines cardiovascular exercise with coordination, agility, balance, rhythm and concentration. It can be enjoyed by people across different age groups and skill levels, making it a useful activity for encouraging regular movement.
The participation of IRSF in the 87th Edition of Sundays on Cycle helped showcase rope skipping as part of a broader fitness and community initiative.
Theme: Unnat Bharat Abhiyan
The theme for the 87th edition was Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, connecting the event with the broader idea of community development and an active India.
Fitness and physical activity are important components of healthy communities. Events that encourage people to participate in outdoor activities can help create greater awareness about the importance of regular exercise and active living.
The participation of sporting organisations such as IRSF further strengthened the event’s sporting character and provided participants with another way to stay active.
Rope Skipping Sundays: One Rope, One Movement
The Rope Skipping Sundays initiative forms part of IRSF’s efforts to promote regular participation in rope skipping.
The message behind the initiative is simple:
One rope. One movement. One stronger India.
Rope skipping can be performed individually or as part of a group activity, making it suitable for community fitness programmes, schools, sporting events and recreational activities.
Through initiatives such as Rope Skipping Sundays, IRSF aims to introduce more people to the sport while highlighting its fitness and community benefits.

The event brought together the themes of cycling, rope skipping and active living, creating a positive platform for promoting fitness.
Promoting a Fitter and Healthier India
The participation of IRSF in Sundays on Cycle reflects the federation’s wider commitment to promoting physical activity beyond competitive championships.
While rope skipping is an organised competitive sport, it can also serve as an accessible fitness activity for people looking to incorporate more movement into their daily routines.
Regular rope skipping can involve cardiovascular activity while requiring coordination, timing, agility and balance. These characteristics make it an engaging form of exercise for both beginners and experienced athletes.
