As a constitutive aspect of modern sport and a link with society, technology became a relevant object of study in this field. Improving the equipment’s functionality, safety increasing and optimizing performance, this process has been mediated by economic and political interests materializes impacting the industry and commerce. Considering that the development of Artistic Gymnastics equipment has substantially modified its practice, the interest of national federations and clubs has increased the demand for technical-scientific advice. This article review, through a combined documentary analysis, the development of the industry, the registration of intellectual property as a moderating disposal, and the centrality of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) through the equipment certification requirement. The results indicate a recent geopolitical change in the manufacturers, with more participation of Chinese corporations, the increase in patent applications and a restricted set of certified suppliers. We also observed a national industry lagging behind in terms of technology and centered in the southeast region, maintaining the technological dependence despite the substantial improvement in the competitive results of Brazilian gymnasts in the main events.
