Hoops are circular objects often made of wood, plastic, or metal, used in various games and activities. One of the most popular uses of hoops is in the sport of basketball, where players aim to shoot a ball through a hoop elevated above the ground. The hoop is attached to a backboard, making it easier for players to score points during a game. In addition to sports, hoops can also refer to hula hoops, which are large, lightweight rings that people twirl around their waist, arms, or legs for fun and exercise. Hula hooping is a playful activity that helps improve coordination and fitness while providing a joyful way to stay active.
