Is there a standard formula for determining an appropriate bar height in relation to a gymnasts height? My dd is 5'6" level 7. The bars have become a stumbling block. She is expected to conform to the shorter gymnasts settings on bars however on vault, the table is adjusted. This has not always been her weak event, but how much "hollowing out" can one really expect and is piking thru the bars a deduction? There seems to be a great disadvantage on bars to be tall, but we are looking for some advise here. The coach states that the bars are "standardized" , and the girls need to adapt. But, where is the line between adaption and unrealistic settings?
