Elements on the uneven bars or high bar

First level of variability

Hand walking

• Starting Position: Hang
• Movement: Move left and right along the bar by shifting hand positions

Hand walking on high bar

• Movement: Extend one leg backward and lift it.
• Final Position: Stand on one leg, back leg extended with either the left or right leg, hands on hips.

Hanging under the knees

• Starting Position: Stand support behind the bar, wide overhand grip.
• Movement: From stand support, lift the hips and push the legs between the arms to a suspended hang under the bar and then over, positioning the bar under the knees.
• Final Position: Hang under the knees

Skin the cat

Dismount

• Starting Position: Front support, overhand grip.
• Movement: From front support, swing legs backward to dismount.
• Final Position: Landing using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints arms forward.

Forward roll

• Starting Position: Front support, overhand grip.
• Movement: From front support, rotate forward along the bar with hips against the bar.

Front pull-up with inclined support

• Gymnastic Equipment: Multi-purpose mat/springboard.
• Starting Position: Stand hang, arms bent at shoulder width, overhand grip.
• Movement: From stand hang, run up the incline, lift hips and swing upward. Rotate with extended legs over the bar, lift the head and extend the arms to lift the torso into front support.
• Final Position: Front support

Second level of variability

Swing in hang

• Starting Position: Front hang.
• Movement: In the backswing, the body is slightly arched. The movement transitions through shoulders, hips, and finally feet to reach a vertical position. After passing vertical, the feet, hips, and shoulders lead into a forward swing, again slightly arched. Reverse the order for backward swing.

Pullover

● Starting Position: Stand hang, arms bent at shoulder width, overhand grip
● Movement: From stand hang, swing with on leg, lift hips and swing upward. Rotate with extended legs over the bar, lift the head and extend the arms to lift the torso into front support
● Final Position: Front support

Hip circle backward

• Starting Position: Front support, overhand grip.
• Movement: From front support, swing the legs backward to lift hips away from the bar, maintaining shoulders above the apparatus. Then, swing forward with the shoulders and hips close to the bar, rotating the body to a straight position around the bar into front support.
• Final Position: Front support, overhand grip

Mill circle

• Starting Position: stride support position.
• Movement: From stride support, lift hips and begin to fall forward, simultaneously swinging the forward leg powerfully. In a headfirst position, bring the forward leg toward the trailing leg and arch slightly while lifting into straddle support.
• Final Position: Straddle support, undergrip

Third level of variability

Hang under the knees on high bar

• Starting Position: Stand support behind the bar, wide overhand grip.
• Movement: From stand support, lift hips and push legs between arms to a suspended hang under the bar and then over, positioning the bar under the knees.
• Final Position: Hang under the knees.
• Assistance: Support lower back, guide legs, ensure firm grip, supervise closely throughout.

Forward roll on high bar

• Starting Position: Front support, overhand grip.
• Movement: From front support, rotate forward with hips against the bar into a hang
• Final Position: Stand hang

Pull-over on high bar

• Starting Position: Hang.
• Movement: From hang, lift legs forward and hips close to the bar, then rotate and swing extended legs over the bar. Lift the head and extend the arms to raise the torso into front support.
