Indoor Cycling Instructor

Category - Movements

A sign of poor cycling technique during a high cadence section is:
  1. An even pedal stroke.
  2. A cadence significantly less than the instructor.
  3. Bouncing up and down in the saddle.
  4. All of the above.
Explanation
Answer: C - A sign of poor cycling technique during a high cadence section is bouncing up and down in the saddle. Participants should concentrate on maintaining an even pedal stroke even at high cadence. Bouncing in the saddle is inefficient and can lead to injury. It also suggests that the participant is either pedaling faster than her skill level allows, or that her bike is incorrectly fitted.
