OBS

En haltérophilie, cette expression désigne le mouvement obtenu par une flexion suivie d'une extension des jambes. Dans le vocabulaire du sport en général, l'expression désigne aussi ce même mouvement; lorsque, cependant, l'exercice est décomposé, «flexion des jambes» ne désigne plus que la première partie du mouvement.
