Cycling or gentle activity prior to stretching:
  1. Is not a good idea and will expose participants to the risk of injury.
  2. Is not a good idea because all participants must stretch before getting on the bike.
  3. Is important so that muscles are beginning to warm up prior to stretching.
  4. Is fine so long as all stretches are performed on the bike.
Explanation
Answer: C- Cycling or gentle activity prior to stretching is important so that muscles are warm prior to stretching. It is important that muscles are warm prior to stretching so that the risk of injury from tears or over stretching is decreased. Stretching muscles that are cold increases the likelihood of injury and is ineffective, as the muscles are tight and less flexible.
