There are four different types of gymnastics that are used in international competition. These are Men's artistic, Women's artistic, Rhythmic gymnastics and Trampoline.
The balance beam is traditionally a women's artistic gymnastics event, while the men's artistic gymnastics events include the parallel bars and the horizontal bar, which are not performed by women. The apparatuses in men's and women's gymnastics are distinct to highlight and test different elements of strength, flexibility, and skills tailored to each gender's physical capabilities and strengths.
Four: men's artistic gymnastics, women's artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and trampoline gymnastics.
