You can create animations which would play start -> loop -> end sub-animation.

Now place the cursor on the frame where you want the loop to start, in this case when the player is on the ground.

Click on the Add Loop Start/End marker icon to add a start loop marker.

Now place the animation cursor on the frame where you want the loop to stop and press again on the Add Loop Start/End marker icon.

The result will be like this:
