In proper pedaling technique:
  1. The participant uses maximum effort on every pedal stroke.
  2. While one leg pushes down, the other relaxes and recovers on the way up.
  3. While one leg pushes down, the other pulls up.
  4. Participants use their body weight to help push down on the pedals.
Explanation
Answer: C - In proper pedaling technique, while one leg pushes down, the other pulls up. This creates a ‘circular’ pedaling effort, where both legs maintain effort the entire way around the pedal stroke. This movement may take some practice before participants can maintain a smooth stroke throughout the entire revolution of the pedal. It also requires the use of toe clips or clipless cycling shoes with cleats.
