Généralement, en français on parle simplement d’une «traction à la barre fixe», sans préciser le type de prise utilisée (mains en pronation ou en supination). En anglais, toutefois, le terme «pull-up» désigne la traction à la barre fixe lorsqu’elle est effectuée avec les mains en pronation (paumes vers l’avant). 6, record 1, French, - traction%20%C3%A0%20la%20barre%20fixe

A bodybuilding exercise performed by completing the following movements: grasp a fixed bar (chin-up bar) with an overhand grip (palms facing away from your body) and your hands slightly larger than a shoulder-width apart. Let yourself hang with your feet not in contact with the floor. Using your abdominal muscles, raise your legs to one side as high as you can (with the knees bent or straight), then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat with the other side. 8, record 3, English, - hanging%20side%20raise
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Although technically there is a difference between a leg raise and a knee raise (the legs are straight in the first case and bent at the knees in the second), the sources consulted often do not make this distinction because the movement is the same and the exercise is intended to develop the same muscles. 8, record 3, English, - hanging%20side%20raise
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
This exercise targets the straight and oblique abdominal muscles. 8, record 3, English, - hanging%20side%20raise

Exercice de musculation qui s’exécute en effectuant les mouvements suivants : agrippez une barre fixe (c’est-à-dire une barre pour les tractions) à l’aide d’une prise en pronation (les paumes vers l’avant), les mains légèrement plus écartées que la largeur des épaules. Laissez-vous pendre par les bras sans toucher le sol de vos pieds. Par la force de vos muscles abdominaux, soulevez vos jambes (fléchies ou droites) de côté aussi haut que possible, puis revenez lentement à la position de départ. Répétez l’exercice de l’autre côté. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20lat%C3%A9rale%20des%20jambes%20%C3%A0%20la%20barre%20fixe

Quoiqu’il existe une différence entre le relevé de jambes et le relevé de genoux (dans le premier cas, les jambes sont droites alors que dans le deuxième cas, elles sont pliées au niveau des genoux), cette différence n’est souvent pas respectée dans les sources consultées puisque le mouvement effectué et les muscles sollicités sont les mêmes. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20lat%C3%A9rale%20des%20jambes%20%C3%A0%20la%20barre%20fixe
