The difference is that you are dangling the weight on the wrong side of the musclegroup you are trying to exercise. The object of weightlifting is resistance against gravity. You place the weight above the muscle group you want to work, not below. If the object of wearing ankleweights is to run faster or jump higher, then to get any benefit from ankleweights, you would need to wear them above your waist.
If you wear them below the waist, jumping or running with them is going to cause an unnatural jerking tension against your hip and knee joints, kind of like bungee jumping
