The 
category includes professional 
hoops for rhythmic gymnastics 
from world-famous manufacturers 
such as Pastorelli, Sasaki, Chacott 
and Venturelli. Professional hoops 
are available in the diameters 
from 60 to 90cm. The special 
composition of plastic with the 
addition of polyethylene improves 
the elasticity as well as the 
dynamic properties of the hoop 
and helps to quickly restore its 
round shape after deformation 
during the execution of complex 
elements.
FIG (Fédération 
Internationale de Gymnastique) 
approves hoops from 80 to 90cm. 
The minimum weight of the hoop 
for adult gymnasts (Senior) is 
300g, for younger gymnasts 
(Junior) 260g. In order for the 
hoop to match the competition 
leotard, it is decorated with a 
light-colored tape. Several colors 
can be combined. There is also 
the possibility to decorate it with 
an airbrush. The surface of the 
hoop is then wrapped with an 
adhesive tape that prevents 
damage to the pattern or wear of 
the color tape.
Care instructions 
for hoops
The hoop as well as all other 
equipment for rhythmic 
gymnastics must be stored in a 
holder and used only on a carpet. 
Strong temperature fluctuations 
should be avoided.
