Gymnastics apply powdered chalk of magnesium carbonate to increase friction for better grips.
- The powder improves the friction between the bar and the gymnast's hands.
- It also absorbs sweat from the hands and maintains it dry for a reasonable grip.
- Along with chalk, most gymnasts utilized leather hand grips during competing on bars because they assist to decrease blistering and tearing. The grips of high-level gymnasts help to have a narrow rod named a dowel that rests horizontally across the fingers, giving a firmer hold on the bar.
