When doing stretches on the bike, participants should:
  1. Keep a steady but relaxed cadence.
  2. Stop pedaling and keep their pedal cranks parallel to the floor.
  3. Stop pedaling and keep their pedal cranks perpendicular to the floor.
  4. Stop pedaling and alternate pedal positions with each stretch.
Explanation
Answer: D- When doing stretches on the bike, participants should stop pedaling and alternate pedal positions with each stretch. Participants should never attempt to pedal during stretching exercises. Doing so can lead to instability and a lack of control of the stretch, and can cause injury. Participants should alternate their foot position through both perpendicular and parallel positions, and alternate the leading foot, between stretches to ensure a consistent level of stretch for both sides of the body.
