The ‘hover’ technique in which participants ride in a standing position with the arms extended and the bottom pushed behind the saddle:
  1. Mimics downhill mountain biking and is useful for these riders.
  2. Is good for balance and coordination.
  3. Stretches and strengthens the back and core.
  4. Is dangerous and unsuitable for a spin class.
Explanation
Answer: D- ‘The ‘hover’ technique in which participants ride in a standing position with the arms extended and the bottom pushed behind the saddle is dangerous and unsuitable for a spin class. This position puts extreme strain on the hips knees, and lower back, and can cause injury. It does not compare to the same position on a mountain bike because when downhill mountain bikers assume this position, they are not actively pedaling.
