maniques : Le champion canadien de gymnastique, Philippe Chartrand, endosse la promotion de «maniques» pour une maison québécoise. Ce terme est approprié : «manique», qui s'écrit aussi «manicle», a comme synonyme «gantelet» qui veut dire «Manchon de cuir que certains ouvriers portent ajusté à la main, pour protéger la paume et les doigts du contact répété du fil et des outils». (LAROG, 1982,5,,4665). Ce protecteur est utilisé aux mêmes fins par les gymnastes. 3, record 1, French, - manique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
bandages : Bien qu'utilisé par certains gymnastes selon la Fédération de gymnastique du Québec, le terme est impropre pour signifier des protecteurs. 3, record 1, French, - manique
