Answer: C - The best programs to build muscular endurance are long intervals of steady state pedaling with a medium resistance. Intervals of four or more minutes at a resistance and a comfortable cadence of between 80 and 95 rpm that lead to lactic fatigue at the end of the interval will increase muscular endurance. High cadence sprint intervals, programs with lots of out-of-the-seat peddling, and short intervals at a very high resistance can be components of an overall training program, but are not as effective for building endurance.
