Indoor Cycling Instructor

Category - Unsafe Movements

High cadence sections should be done:
  1. With no resistance on the flywheel.
  2. With at least 110 rpm to be effective.
  3. As fast as the participant can reach without bouncing, and with some resistance on the flywheel.
  4. As fast as the instructor demands.
Explanation
Answer: C- High cadence sections should be done as fast as the participant can reach without bouncing, and with some resistance on the flywheel. Participants should never pedal with no resistance on the flywheel; doing so causes ‘snapping’ of the pedals and can cause injury. Participants should aim for a cadence during sprint sections that is as fast as they can manage without bouncing or snapping the pedals, and which they can maintain until the instructor calls for a cadence change. Participants should never be asked to pedal faster than is safe, or be encouraged to pedal at a cadence higher than their skill allows.
