Horizontal Bar Gymnastics Apparatus

A horizontal high bar is assembled between two vertical support stands on the gymnastics floor. The simple apparatus structure provides the foundation for aerial swings and dismounts.

Facts About the Horizontal High Bar

The horizontal bar, also known as the high bar, is a featured discipline in men's artistic gymnastics. The bar itself is made of high-strength steel designed to flex slightly without breaking under heavy dynamic tension. Gymnasts execute intricate turns, releases, and re-grips high above safety landing mats positioned below the support posts.
