Abstract: A jumping board which is particularly well-suited to provide a surface on which a person may jump rope. The board comprises a resiliently deformable member of foam material having a pair of oppositely disposed substantially planar surfaces and a peripheral edge surface joining the planar surfaces about the periphery of the deformable member. First and second planar sheet members are disposed in surface contact and adhered with the planar surfaces of the deformable member. The jumping board additionally includes a resiliently deformable peripheral edge member for the periphery of the deformable member. The edge member has first and second spaced end edge portions and an intermediate body portion.
