When using ‘jumps’, which of the following principles apply?
  1. Use jumps only occasionally to improve leg strength.
  2. Jump transitions are best done in conjunction with changes in flywheel resistance.
  3. When transitioning through jumps, riders should try to maintain a fairly upright position.
  4. All of the above.
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the choices for this question are principles that apply to “jumps”. Jumps are an effective technique to improve leg strength, if used effectively. The jump transition should include a change in flywheel resistance to prevent knee and hip injury. If overused, participants can develop poor form with jumps such as tipping over the handlebars or bending the elbows excessively.
