Hopping is a form of movement where an individual or animal jumps off the ground using one or both feet. This action involves bending the knees and pushing off the ground, allowing for a brief moment of suspension in the air before landing. Hopping is commonly seen in various animals, such as kangaroos and frogs, which use this method to travel quickly or escape predators. In humans, hopping can be a playful activity, often seen in games or sports. It is also used in physical exercises to improve balance, coordination, and leg strength. Hopping can be performed in various styles, including single-leg hopping and double-leg hopping, each offering different benefits.
