A micro-controller 2 and a counting switch 3, a LED indicating light 4, a button 5, a memory 6 and a wireless module 7, all of which are electrically connected with the micro-controller 2, are provided in the handle shell 1. The wireless module 7 is also connected with an antenna 71 (indicated as P1 shown in FIG. 3, which can be constituted by a part of the handle shell 1).

A magnet 111 corresponding to the reed switches 31 is provided on the rotating head 11. The rotating head 11 is used for fixing a rope provided for rope skipping. When rotate the rope for one circle, the magnet 111 in turn triggers the three reed switches 31 to switch on, thus electrical signals in turn are produced and transmitted to the micro-controller 2 so as to achieve a count. Such a counting method is scientific and reasonable, and no wrong counting will be produced by the swing of the rotating head. Furthermore, a power supply module 21 and a buzzer 22, both of which are electrically connected with the micro-controller 2, are included in the handle shell 1.
