Horizontal bar

Japanese: 鉄棒 - てつぼう

A type of gymnastics apparatus, and the exercises performed using it. One of the men's events in artistic gymnastics. It began in 1812 when FL Jahn created the horizontal bar Reck and created the chin-up exercise. At that time, it was made of wood, not iron. Even today, many of the horizontal bars seen in amusement parks in northern Europe are made of wood. They were imported to Japan after they had become iron bars, so they were named "horizontal bars." Generally, exercises include chin-ups, spins, and kicks. In competitions, an iron bar 255cm to 275cm high, 240cm wide, and 28mm in diameter is used, and competitors compete for the beauty and wonder of consecutive moves that combine climbing, spinning, jumping (movements in which the competitors leave the bar and return to it during the performance), and descending moves.

Japanese:

体操器具の一種，またこれを用いて行う運動をいう。体操競技男子種目の一つ。F.L.ヤーンが1812年に水平棒Reckを作って懸垂運動を創始したのに始まる。この当時は鉄製のバーではなく木製であった。今もヨーロッパ北部の遊園地などで見かける鉄棒のバーは木製のものが多い。日本には鉄製のバーになってから輸入されたので〈鉄棒〉と名づけられた。一般には，懸垂，回転，蹴(け)上り等の運動を行う。競技では高さ255cm〜275cm，幅240cm，棒の直径28mmの鉄棒を使用，上がり技，回転技，離れ技（演技の途中でバーから離れてふたたびバーにもどる技），下り技を組み合わせた連続技の美しさと驚異性を競う。
