Using a variational approach we rigorously deduce some one-dimensional models for rods from three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity, passing to the limit as the diameter of the rod goes to zero. In particular we consider different scalings of the elastic energy in terms of the diameter of the rod and we show that they lead at the limit to different rod models.
