also the grip used is different between men’s and women’s gymnastics because with women’s we’re switching between the two bars instead of being on one. and female gymnasts are lighter on average due to the higher demand for flexibility in women’s gymnastics compared to men’s.

Not sure if someone commented this, but women's gymnastics also used to involve a lot of "bouncing" moves. They'd purposefully wack their thighs/hips against the bars to bounce between the low/high bars. You can't do a giant on the low bar to build up momentum/get that bend he's talking about, so instead momentum was conserved by litterally smacking into the thing. So, yeah, steel would've been less than ideal.

Since then, I made the switch to the aluminum stick, and I never got blisters again. It's also satisfyingly cool to the touch.

Could be both because build, as in the bone composition and density does affect the torque, meaning force, applied by the skeletal muscles. Ex: Males have longer arms so the arm lever system for them creates more force in comparison to a woman. In addition, Males have more fast twitch fibers than women, which affects their source of substance use. Men use more carbohydrates, which is less energy but a quicker source, than lipids, which is what women tend to rely on for fuel. This quickness of energy availability can impact the prolonged use of power/force used by the muscles during the short period of the routine and, likewise, affecting the amount of stress on the bar.

You could have all the strength in the world, if youre hanging on a steel bar theres nothing you could do to break it with brute strength

@@unclebary1866 Not with brute strength but through stress. The young man did not use brute strength rather he stressed the bar with his weight and some force applied to build momentum/swing himself around, but not necessarily brute strength. Although, good point, females are less likely to break the steel bar and if brute strength was the only factor, the male is more likely to bend/break the bar while the female would barely even come close to doing the same.

The uneven bars used to be ajusted p bars, thats why theyre wood

Small fact on the side. Glass fibers have a significantly higher tensile strength than steel. So if glass fiber-reinforced materials are used for the women, they can theoretically withstand even higher loads. However, other factors also play a role, such as load and fiber orientation.

people also forget that 'steel' is a category of metals with a large range of different properties. The gymnastics bar (more like a pipe actually) is not made of the same steel used for tank armor.

Steels elasticity (that is, its ability to just bend and spring back under force that would break other materials) is actually the main reason its useful. Most springs are made of steel, as are many cables, and even strings for instruments (piano wire is steel, as are many guitar strings). If you wanna see big steel bars flexing, look up a video of a deadlift competition, those bars look like the weights are just gonna slide off the ends from how much they bend.

Steel bars are used for training in women's gymnastics lmao. They would be incredibly unsafe for uneven bars because you'd fly too high and not be able to transition as safely between bars. It's so much easier to throw a skill on a steel bar because of the height it give you.

How come women change between two and men use the one? Both are scary as hell, don’t get me wrong, but changing between two sounds terrifying and hitting your legs on steel is just as spooky. Edit: I found this but I’m still confused, “Of course, women's uneven bars require a tremendous amount of upper body strength, but, as Dvora Meyers at Jezebel pointed out, having a lower bar gives women something to rest their legs on; women generally carry more of their weight in their lower bodies than men.”

Women's uneven bars evolved from men's parallel bars. The first bars women used were just a set of p bars with one being raised all the way up and one being pretty low. Since then, over the decades, the bars have become more sophisticated and set further apart for more/different skills. Meyers from Jezebel has no idea what she's talking about. There is no resting on the bars at all.

Steel doesn't fatigue, either, as long as you don't go past a certain stress point. And it's cheap.

Women's bars developed from men's Pbars. They initially just offset them, then used spreaders to get a tilt that eventually turned into a new apparatus. It's about an evolution in design, not so much about the power of the skills. It could be argued that the difference in the power of the skills was shaped by the evolution in equipment design.

both kinds of gymnastics are incredible also: oh you were talking about the bar bending, not your back😅
