The correct weight distribution for a seated position when spinning is:
  1. Almost all of the participant’s weight should be on the saddle.
  2. The participant’s weight should be distributed equally between saddle and handlebars.
  3. The participant’s weight should be about 60% on the saddle and 40% on the handlebars.
  4. The participant’s weight should be about 40% on the saddle and 60% on the handlebars.
Explanation
Answer: C - The participant’s weight should be about 60% on the saddle and 40% on the handlebars. This distribution encourages proper balance and allows for efficient cycling. Too much weight on the saddle and the participant will not be able to pedal efficiently and may experience back or hip pain. Too much weight on the arms and the handlebars can cause the participant to become unstable, and can cause neck, shoulder, or back strain.
