To use a cadence that is twice as fast as the beat of a piece of music for a fast sprint cadence:
  1. One leg pushes down on the beat and the other leg pushes down on the off or back beat.
  2. One leg pushes down on the beat and on the off-beat while the other pulls up.
  3. One leg pushes down on every other beat.
  4. Pick a very energetic track and tell participants to pedal as fast as they can.
Explanation
Answer: B-To use a cadence that is twice as fast as the beat of a piece of music for a fast sprint cadence, one leg pushes down on the beat and on the off-beat while the other pulls up. This is known as ‘double time’ pedaling and effectively doubles the tempo of the music to reach a faster cadence. It is useful for high cadence sprint sections. Some participants may find hearing the ‘off’ or ‘back’ beat difficult, and this may take some practice.
