For boys there are the parallel bars, high bar, still rings and pommel horse. All require strength and agility. Both men and women gymnastics involve work on the bars.

Work on the uneven bars requires lots of upper body strength and coordination. A gymnast mounts the lowest bar and then through a series of swings, she will transition to the upper bar and back to the lower. The gymnast performs handstands, circles, transitions and releases during her performance. For men performing on the parallel bars, they execute a series of swings on bars placed shoulder’s width apart. The high bar is another bar used in men’s gymnastics. The bar is 2.4 cm thick and 2.5m off the ground. The gymnast swings and makes many revolutions around the bar with twists and turns and changes of directions until he dismounts from the height of the bar.
