Education / Pedagogy / Physical Education | | French term or phrase: appui fessier | A type of balance exercise taught in Phys.Ed. in Ontario schools, along with "arabesque" and "stork" poses.
I was thinking "squat" ... but then comes the "appui fessier en V" just to mess me up. :)
Thanks for all your help! |
| | | seated | 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.
