I don't know, that's why I'm asking :-)

If so, how do you interpret <prendre des appuis latéraux ......> ?

In view of the first two answers, I would like to point out that the training concerned is very hands-on, ie trainees are asked to try on and try out all the equipment/clothing etc.

Here's another instance:
"En salle, un match de volley ou de petits exercices de saut, d’appuis latéraux permettront aux stagiaires de comprendre l’importance des renforts, de la respirabilité, du PU, du maintien du pied …"

To me, this is an action, not a descriptive quality.
