Rope Jump

Great idea! I'll submit it here: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/ And if more people do that, better chances it gets implemented.

I thought of using the 'Strength' app for it, but that probably won't be able to count jumps as repetitions. So I'm going to experiment with the Walk app with GPS set off and a Running Power field, with the RD Pod and a footpod and see what metrics I get. Unfortunately Connect does not display a graph for cadence, but it is recorded in the FIT file. Trail Run app with GPS off may work as well (Trail Run does not affect VO2Max, if I'm not mistaken).

Thank you, Tess.

But I prefer a native activity from Garmin. Why? Maybe I'm wrong, but I have the feeling that installing anything that is not of Garmin origin on the watch is opening the door to a possible higher battery consumption, possible device crashes, failures of any kind ... If it's an IQ Garmin app, I could accept it, but from other sources, sorry, but no.

Garmin, could you take this request please?

Fair enough.  Just an FYI, there have been native Garmin apps that have done just that.

hahaha    yes it's also true   ;-)

Connect shows running Cadence

That is great, what sport app did you use?

yes! I've been wondering for a long time why they don't.  JR is a great cardio/strength workout and good cross train for running and tri.  and it feels likely pretty easy to build (relative to other activities).

That would be really great and I'm actually surprised there is no native application for JR as it is a pretty popular training.
