egyenesrudas

An egyenesrudas is a type of gymnastic apparatus consisting of a horizontal bar suspended by two upright posts. It is used in artistic gymnastics and is typically made of steel. The bar has a diameter of 25 mm (0.98 inches) and a length of 2.4 meters (7.9 feet). The height of the bar can be adjusted to suit the age and skill level of the gymnast.

The egyenesrudas is used for a variety of exercises, including swings, circles, and releases. Gymnasts perform routines on the egyenesrudas that are judged on difficulty, execution, and artistry. The apparatus is found in both men's and women's artistic gymnastics competitions. In men's gymnastics, the egyenesrudas is a separate event. In women's gymnastics, it is part of the uneven bars apparatus, though the term egyenesrudas itself specifically refers to a single horizontal bar.

The sport has a long history, with early forms of gymnastics dating back to ancient Greece. The modern egyenesrudas as a competitive apparatus developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It requires significant strength, flexibility, and coordination from the athletes. Training on the egyenesrudas helps develop upper body strength, core stability, and spatial awareness. Safety mats are placed around the apparatus to cushion any falls.
