When stretching before or after spin class participants should hold a static stretch position:
  1. Until it really hurts.
  2. For a count of 10-20 seconds, releasing if it becomes uncomfortable/painful.
  3. For 2 or 3 seconds, bouncing to find greater range of motion.
  4. Static stretching should only be done before exercise.
Explanation
Answer: B- When stretching before or after spin class, participants should hold a static stretch position for a count of 10-20 seconds, releasing if it becomes uncomfortable/painful. Static stretches should be held for a count of 10-20 seconds, but the stretch should not be held for so long that pain is felt. Participants should be encouraged to feel the stretch but must be discouraged from going too far, or injury may result. In an effective stretch, the participant should feel the muscles ease during the stretch.
