Default Jump Rope

With the muscle fibre type graph you have in the book jump is at the extreme end of FF fibre usage. Is jumping rope a "jump" exercise or don't you jump high enought to recruit those FF fibres, and are things like plyometrics high FF exercises?

Until your book I never thought about the speed of the movement and the fibre recuitment. Thanks for opening my eyes.
