Fold Up Gymnastics Mat

Vault

1.35 meters high. The vault is a leaping jump that begins with a run-up and ends with the legs together. The maximum run-up distance for the vault is 25 meters. The run-up can be interrupted, but a return to the run is not allowed. The vault requires a certain height and distance in the air.

Parallel Bars

1.75 meters high. The parallel bars consist of swinging and flying movements selected from a variety of structural groups, transitioning through various supports and hanging movements. When performing the parallel bars, the jump must begin from a standing position with legs together, without pre-movements. A maximum of three pauses or static movements are permitted within a routine; any other pauses of one second or longer are not permitted.

Horizontal Bar

2.55 meters high. The horizontal bar routine consists of swinging movements, performed continuously using various grips. It includes large loops, close-to-the-bar movements, rotations around the body's longitudinal axis, and flying movements. Single-arm swings with two passes over the bar's lower surface are permitted. Horizontal bar exercises require special requirements, such as a certain level of difficulty in the air.

Vaulting Horse

The horse is 160–163 cm long and 35–36 cm wide. Height varies by age group, with adults at 125 cm and children at 100 cm. The horse's legs are made of steel and can be raised and lowered. The bow-shaped springboard, placed in front of the vaulting horse to assist in the jump, is an essential piece of equipment. It is 20–30 cm high and made of plywood with a certain degree of elasticity.

All vaulting movements must be supported with both hands, and the length of the run-up is determined by the individual. Vaulting movements can be divided into several groups based on the different types of aerial movements. The numbers raised by the coach before the vault represent different movements.
