Gymnastics Horizontal Bar

The horizontal bar gymnastics is one of the most difficult pieces of the aircraft. The requirements of strength, timing, coordination, and daring - typical of gymnastics - seem to be a little example on the horizontal bar. As in all life situations, the element of danger is present, but as with all gymnastics, if approached in a progressive element of danger can be reduced to the point where the artist will recognize potential hazards and comply with these conditions, but without fear.

Activity Description

Stunt (1): Knee Hang (Hang Hock)

Prerequisite: Ability to raise the legs to the bar.

Description: From a overgrip hanging position, flex the waist and legs pass through the hands to engage the legs over the bar. Keep your legs bent at the knee, blocking the wrong way. To recover, bend at the waist to grasp the bar, then lift your legs and return to standing.

Safeguards: The observer can keep the feet until the confidence that the student is able to keep his knees bent. The move can be taught first on the horizontal bar or low on the parallel bars.

Stunt (2): Mount knee

Prerequisite: The knee hang and a chance to sit with one leg on a low bar.

Description: From a hanging position, a normal grip, pull a leg up over the bar to participate in the back of the knee, the knee flexed. By swinging the other leg, generating enough momentum to rise above the bar.

The important factor in the rise throws elbows above the bar and rush forward with head and chest at the head reaches its maximum height at the end of the back swing. If the student wishes to stay on top of the bar, bar must be moved behind the knee high in the leg.

Safeguards: A stand-by spotter should assist the participant to maintain balance while above the cross bar by the legs.

Stunt (3): Circle of the knee

Prerequisite: knee assembly.

Description: After executing a knee going over the bar, reverse the handle, lift the body and the hook at the foot of the leg engaged behind the free leg, keep both legs as straight as possible, and pushing away from the bar, leaning forward to Opt for the stunt. As the body begins to mount, flex at the waist and pull in over the bar.

This requires a rapid rotation of hands over the bar, providing support that the body passes over the bar. The move is easier when it starts up skipping the carpet.

Safeguards: A stand-by spotter must be provided.
