crouch


Explanation:
Hello
Very hard to find on Google but I did finally find a definition (reference) by changing it to "nigsittande". Perhaps there is a slight difference between "huka ner" and "nigsitta" like there is between "squat" and "crouch". A Swedish article on Björn Borg makes me think that "nigsitta "might be closer to crouch and then I found an article about the crouch position in tennis (second reference)
