Correct pedaling technique is:
  1. Not as important in a spin class as it is on a road bike.
  2. An essential part of efficient and effective spinning.
  3. Very difficult to learn and many participants will never obtain a good technique.
  4. Whatever is most natural and comfortable to a participant.
Explanation
Answer: B - Correct pedaling technique is an essential part of efficient and effective spinning. An ideal pedaling technique ensures smooth and efficient pedaling, and prevents injury. Instructors should spend time explaining and demonstrating correct technique, and helping participants understand and apply correct form. Spinning creates very concentrated forces - even more than on a road bike - and poor form can lead to fatigue and even injury.
