Knowra Uneven bars Uneven bars Uneven bars are an artistic-gymnastics apparatus with two horizontal bars set at different heights. Gymnasts perform continuous swings, releases, catches, and transitions between the bars.
Uneven bars routine : A connected sequence of swings, transitions, releases, catches, and dismount performed on the uneven bars. This is the performance built around the apparatus’s two bars.
Code of Points (artistic gymnastics) : The International Gymnastics Federation’s rules for evaluating difficulty, execution, and composition in artistic gymnastics. It defines how uneven-bars skills and deductions contribute to a score.
Women's artistic gymnastics : The gymnastics discipline in which women compete on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Uneven bars developed as one of the discipline’s four standard events.
Horizontal bar : A men’s artistic-gymnastics apparatus consisting of a single high bar used for swings, releases, and dismounts. Unlike uneven bars, it uses one bar rather than two at different heights.
Giant swing : A full-circle swing around a gymnastics bar with the body extended and the arms supporting the gymnast. Large circular swings generate momentum for transitions and release skills.
Difficulty score : The component of a gymnastics score that reflects the value of skills and required composition elements. High-difficulty connections and releases can raise an uneven-bars routine’s starting value.
Johann Friedrich GutsMuths : A German educator whose writings helped establish gymnastics as a structured form of physical education. His work belongs to the wider history of gymnastics apparatus and physical training.
Parallel bars : A men’s artistic-gymnastics apparatus consisting of two parallel bars at the same height. Its bars are level and support different skills from the high-low arrangement.
Release move : A gymnastics skill in which an athlete lets go of a bar, performs an airborne action, and catches a bar again. Releases turn the gap between bars into an opportunity for flight and difficulty.
Execution score : The component of a gymnastics score reduced for faults in form, technique, and performance. Bent arms, leg separation, and imprecise handstands can incur execution deductions.
