Music is a useful tool to direct cadence because:
  1. Students can follow the beat and not have to count rpm or check the bike computer.
  2. Music is a natural motivator to pedal quickly.
  3. You can manually speed up a track to encourage participants to pedal faster.
  4. Familiar tracks help participants anticipate cadence changes.
Explanation
Answer: A-Music is a useful tool to direct cadence because students can follow the beat and not have to count rpm or check the bike computer. Selecting music that has a beat or rhythm that matches your desired cadence can help participants hear the cadence and not have to count it or monitor their bike computers. Changing cadence with changes in music tempo also encourages smooth cadence changes and prevents participants changing position to see their screen or watch.
