There is no mention of Joan Anderson, who claims to have brought the idea from Astralia in 1958. Because of the dates, it is possible this is predated by Alex Tolmer's discussions with representatives of Wham-O. The story of Joan Anderson, the hula hoop, and her lawsuit against Wham-O are discussed in the short film Who Invented the Hula Hoop: Joan Anderson Did.
I bring this up so those with more background can decide whether or not to add something to the article. Pleae let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Todd ( talk) 23:11, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

The physics of hooping could also be mentioned in the article (relating it to the concept of angular momentum etc. Richard001 06:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
"Hula hooping" is a complex skill in which an unstable object, a hoop, is kept in steady oscillation parallel with the ground plane by means of coordinate oscillations of the body. The physical basis of the skill is the conservation of angular momentum. In manipulating the hoop, the performer exerts small but carefully regulated impulses (where impusle equals force x time) by allowing the body to impinge on a small portion of the interior periphery of a short section of the hoop. ---excerpt from Balasubramanium and Turvey (2004) Biological Ckybernetics 90, 176-190.
I'm surprised there's no reference to the movie The Hudsucker Proxy - anyone mind if I add a bit to trivia? Pjc51 07:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
The third image, with the caption "Stacey Laliberte", who is Stacey? Is she a famous performer, or just someone that was posing for the photo? If she is "just someone" her name should not be there JayKeaton 11:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
In the "Today" section I read: "The past few years have seen the re-emergence of hula hooping." But there is nothing to which to relate either "today" or "the past few years" to. Can somebody knowledgeable please add a date, for orientation purposes? In 20 years..... Thanks -- Martha ( talk) 04:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Rock n Roll Circus, based in Brisbane, Australia, travelled to China in 1992 to train at Shang Hai Circus, and Kareena Oates came back with the first skilled hoop act in Contemporary Circus, inspiring Australian Performers. Suzy Leigh was the first Street Performer in the world to feature hula hooping in her act, and appeared on national TV in Australia in 1996. She had toured throughout Europe, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Argentina, and the South Pacific performing in Festivals and Cabarets, inspiring and teaching hoops to other inspired performers and in Circus schools since 1993. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whirled First 1 ( talk • contribs) 00:14, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this is wrong:
The word "hula" may have entered English at that time, but the earliest OED citation for "hula hoop" is 1958, in the context of the Wham-O product. Mark Foskey ( talk) 04:18, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

If the term "hula hoop" dates to 1958 (confirmed at Online etymology), then what of Alley Oop's girlfriend Ooola? The name "Ooola" appeared in the strip in the mid 1930s. Was the toy named after the cavegirl or is it just a coincidence? Randall Bart Talk 00:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Apparently these were marketed much later by Wham-o to add noise to the fun. Someone want to make a section on it? http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,899852,00.html

The hooping page doesn't have enough information. These two pages need to have a little more coordination -- there is different information on each one.

I recently just added a large amount to the section of pyro-hooping. I thought it was essential to add fire safety tips to those just using a simple and quick research over the activity before they start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.109.176.163 ( talk) 07:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
"An early duration record for the hula hoop was set by 11-year-olds Paulette Robinson, Charles Beard and Patsy Jo Grigby in Jackson, Mississippi lasting 11 hours and 34 minutes (August, 1960). The event was sponsored by radio station WOKJ." Sadly this is unverifiable. User:ErikNY added it in 2009, [1] while claiming to be "reverting vandalism". It seems to be invented.
"In the 13th century in Scotland, hoops were later extended to adult audiences and were popular for recreation and religious ceremonies. According to their medical records from that era, doctors treated and encouraged patients with dislocated backs and heart attack victims to use this winding exercise." This section seems to have gone through vandalism and/or Chinese Whispers. Claims about a hooping craze in the 14th century in England being the cause of medical problems trace back to a 1989 book by Charles Panati, and have been repeated without question ever since. I have my doubts about the veracity of this as Panati doesn't give his sources, but it'll probably do. Fences& Windows 18:11, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
"Hula hooping has been a type of exercise and play from as early as the 5th century in ancient Greece. Before it was known and recognized as the common colourful plastic toy (sometimes with water inside the actual hoop), it used to be made of dried up willow, rattan, grapevines, or stiff grasses. Even though the toy has existed for thousands of years, it is often misunderstood as being invented in the 1950s."
I think there's evidence for the Ancient Greeks using hoops in exercise and practising hoop rolling, but I cannot find good evidence that they did 'hula hooping', i.e. spinning the hoop about the waist or body. This is simply repeated around the web without any decent sourcing. Fences& Windows 18:49, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Please explain why Australia had cane hoops in the 1950s.
FWIW. We used these in Australian primary schools in the 1950s, and possibly before, as part of the physical education curriculum.
