horizontal bar

Overhead chinning equipment

A horizontal bar is a gymnastics apparatus consisting of a steel bar mounted horizontally between two vertical supports, used for swinging and acrobatic routines.

The bar stands about 2.8 meters high, and gymnasts perform releases, grip changes, and rotations while maintaining momentum.

The term also refers to the competitive event itself, a men's artistic gymnastics discipline.

Outside gymnastics, horizontal bar may simply describe any bar positioned parallel to the ground.
