| "appui fessier en V" wide stance/duck squat Explanation: Maybe "appui fessier" is a normal squat with feet close together or "hip-width" and "en V" is wide stance or duck as demonstrated in the link below. The two positions work different muscles. Here in France a "squat" is a..."squat" (!) Reference: http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/viewanexercise.asp?ID=6... |

6 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2seated Explanation: It probably means in a seated position. You mention that it is also used with "en V" which made me think of two possiblilities. Depending on the description of the exercise, it might be "seat balance" or "balance on your seat" (giving instructions to students), sitting and balancing on your bottom (seat). The second might be "V seat", or "extended leg V seat" depending on the position. The links that I have provided show working with a balance ball at one point, but these types of exercises can be done without the ball. I hope you have some pictures or diagrams to help you decide. I hope this points you in the right direction. Squat would have been accroupi, or even "squat" as often used in body building.
