bottom of the pedal stroke?
A. Fully locked
B. Bent at a 90-degree angle
C. Slightly bent, not locked
D. Bent at a 45-degree angle
A slight bend prevents knee strain and ensures proper biomechanics.
,3. What is a key safety cue when riding in standing position?
A. Keep your hips rocking
B. Maintain a neutral spine and steady hips
C. Lean forward aggressively
D. Use arms to support your body weight
Standing position requires a strong core and stable hips for injury

exercise.
8. What does RPE stand for in indoor cycling?
A. Rate of Pedaling Energy
B. Rate of Perceived Exertion
C. Resistance Power Effort
D. Rest Pulse Estimation
RPE measures how hard a rider feels they are working and helps
guide intensity.
9. Which heart rate zone is ideal for fat burning?
A. 90–100% MHR
B. 50–60% MHR
C. 60–70% MHR
D. 80–90% MHR
The fat-burning zone typically lies between 60–70% of maximum
heart rate.
10. What should be avoided during an indoor cycling class?
A. Excessive upper body movement
B. Wearing clip-in shoes
C. Stretching post-ride
