• c.f = correct form (posture/technique)
• deg = degrees
• deg/sec = degrees for seconds indicated
• % b.w = percent of bodyweight
• reps = repetitions
• 15 sec reps = repetitions in 15 seconds
• 30 sec reps = repetitions in 30 seconds
• % r.h = percent of reach height (standing with feet flat, mark as high as your fingertips can reach)
• - r.h = minus reach height (standing with feet flat, mark as high as your fingertips can reach)
• % c.r.r.h = percent of calf-raise-reach-height (standing on the balls of your feet mark as high as your fingertips can reach)
• BL = baseline (as low as it is possible to go)
