Stretching the hamstrings:
  1. Is important because the pedal stroke restricts the motion and extension of the hamstring.
  2. Is not as important as a quadriceps stretch as that is the most active muscle in the pedal stroke.
  3. Is sufficiently achieved by pedaling the spin bike.
  4. Only needs to be carried out prior to a spin class.
Explanation
Answer: A- Stretching hamstrings is important because the pedal stroke restricts the motion and extension of the hamstring. Hamstrings play an integral part in the pedal stroke. However, if bike fit is correct, the pedal stroke will never allow the hamstrings to extend fully. Stretching the hamstrings, therefore, is very important not only in preparation for spinning, but after class in order to ensure safe recovery, but also in order to maintain mobility and a full range of motion.
