Men’s Artistic Gymnastics apparatus specific -
 Floor ex.-  In gymnastics, the floor refers to a specially prepared exercise surface, which is considered an apparatus. It is used by both male and female gymnasts. The event in gymnastics performed on floor is called floor exercise. The English abbreviation for the event in gymnastics scoring is FX. A spring floor is used in all of gymnastics to provide more bounce, and also help prevent potential injuries to lower extremity joints of gymnasts due to the nature of the apparatus, which includes the repeated pounding required to train it. Cheerleading also uses spring floors for practice. The sprung floor used for indoor athletics, however, is designed to reduce bounce.  2. pommel Horse- 

Basic preparations, shoulder angles, difficulties on pommel horse. - The pommel horse (also side horse) is an artistic gymnastics apparatus. Traditionally, it is used by only male gymnasts. Originally made of a metal frame with a wooden body and a leather cover, modern pommel horses have a metal body covered with foam rubber and leather, with plastic handles (or pommels)

.[1]easurements of the apparatus are published by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) in the Apparatus Norms brochure.[2] Height from top surface to floor:

115 centimetres (3.77 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in) Length at top: 160 centimetres (5.2 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in) Length at bottom: 155 centimetres (5.09 ft) 1 centimetre (0.39 in

Width at top: 35 centimetres (14 in) 1 centimetre (0.39 in)

Width at bottom: 30 centimetres (12 in) 1 centimetre (0.39 in)

Height of the pommels: 12 centimetres (4.7 in)

0.5 centimetres (0.20 in)

Distance between the pommels: 40 centimetres (16 in) – 45 centimetres (18 in)

 3. Still Rings.- 

This article is about gymnastics rings. For other uses, see Ring (disambiguation). The rings, also known as steady rings or still rings[1] (in contrast to flying rings), is an artistic gymnastics apparatus and the event that uses it. It is traditionally used only by male gymnasts, due to its extreme upper body strength requirements. Gymnasts typically wear ring grips while performing on the rings.The apparatus consists of two rings that hang freely from a rigid metal frame. Each ring is supported by a strap, which in turn connects to a steel cable that is suspended from the metal frame. The gymnast, who grips one ring with each hand, must control the movement of the rings and his or her body movements at all times.[1]

The measurements of the standard apparatus are specified by Fédération

IInner diameter 18 centimetres (7.1 in) ± 0.1 centimetres (0.039 in)[1]

Diameter of profile: 2.8 centimetres (1.1 in) ± 0.1 centimetres (0.039 in)[1]

Distance from point of attachment to lower inner side of the rings: 300 centimetres (9.8 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in)

Distance between two points of attachment: 50 centimetres (1.6 ft) ± 0.5 centimetres (0.20 in)[1]

 4.Parallel Bars.- 

Parallel bars are floor apparatus consisting of two wooden bars slightly over 11 feet (340 cm) long and positioned at roughly hand height. Parallel bars are used in artistic gymnastics and also for physical therapy and home exercise.[1] Gymnasts may optionally wear grips when Apparatus. The apparatus consists of two parallel bars that are held parallel to, and elevated above, the floor by a metal supporting framework. The bars are composed of wood or other material, with an outer coating of wood.[2] The vertical members of the supporting framework are adjustable so the height of the bars above the floor and distance between the bars can be set optimally for each gymnast.[3]

Dimensions

Bar rounded profile: 5 centimetres (2.0 in) ± 1 millimetre (0.039 in) vertical by 4 centimetres (1.6 in) ± 1 millimetre (0.039 in) horizontal [3]

Height of bar from floor: 200 centimetres (6.6 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in)[3]

Distance between bars: 42 centimetres (17 in) – 52 centimetres (20 in) (adjustable)[3]

 5.Vaulting table - 

The vault is an artistic gymnastics apparatus which gymnasts perform on, as well as the skill performed using that apparatus. Vaulting is also the action of performing a vault. Both male and female gymnasts perform the vault. The English abbreviation for the event in gymnastics scoring is VT.

Dimensions-

Length: 120 centimetres (3.9 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in)[7][8]

Width: 90 centimetres (3.0 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in)[7][8]

Height:

Men: 135 centimetres (4.43 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in)[8]

Women: 125 centimetres (4.10 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in)[8]

Run up area:

Length: 3,500 centimetres (115 ft) ± 10 centimetres (3.9 in)[7][8]

Width: 100 centimetres (3.3 ft) ± 1 centimetre (0.39 in)[7][8]

 6.High Bar- 

The horizontal bar, also known as the high bar, is an apparatus used by male gymnasts in artistic gymnastics. It traditionally consists of a cylindrical metal (typically steel) bar that is rigidly held above and parallel to the floor by a system of cables and stiff vertical supports. Gymnasts typically wear suede leather grips while performing on the bar. Current elite-level

competition uses a more elastic fiberglass core rail similar in material to the rails used in the women's uneven bars and men's parallel bars apparatus. The gymnastics elements performed on the horizontal bar are regulated by a Code of Points. A bar routine, which is a sequence of several bar skills, usually includes giants with various grips (overgrip, undergrip, dorsal grip, mixed grip), in-bar work, turns, release and regrasp skills, and a dismount. The horizontal bar is often considered one of the most exciting gymnastics events due to the power exhibited by gymnasts during giant swings and spectacular aerial releases and dismounts that often include multiple flips or twists and, in some cases, airborne travel over the bar.

Dimensions

The mechanical dimensions of the horizontal bar apparatus are specified in FIG's Apparatus Norms brochure:[3]

Height: 278 cm (109 in) (including about 30 cm (12 in) landing mats)

Length: 240 cm (94 in) Diameter of the bar: 2.8 cm (1.1 in)

 6.Trampoline- 

Trampolining or trampoline gymnastics[1] is a recreational activity, acrobatic training tool as well as a competitive Olympic sport in which athletes perform acrobatics while bouncing on a trampoline.[2] In competition, these can include simple jumps in the straight, pike, tuck, or straddle position to more complex combinations of forward and/or backward somersaults and twists. Scoring is based on the difficulty and on the total seconds spent in the air. Points are deducted for bad form and horizontal displacement from the center of the bed.

Outside of the Olympics, competitions are referred to as GymSport, Trampoline Gymnastics (TG), or Gymnastics, which includes the events of Trampoline, Synchronized Trampoline, Double Mini-Trampoline & Tumbling.
