Question

which of the following is recommended to reduce the risk of pelvic floor injuries associated with cycling?
multiple choice
avoid cross - training with pilates
choose indoor spinning rather than outdoor cycling
frequently stand up on the pedals to break up long periods of sitting and leaning forward
position handlebars below the level of the bike saddle

Explanation:

Prolonged sitting and leaning forward while cycling can put pressure on the pelvic - floor. Standing up on the pedals can relieve this pressure and reduce injury risk. Cross - training with Pilates can actually be beneficial for pelvic - floor strength. Indoor and outdoor cycling don't have a direct impact on pelvic - floor injury risk in terms of being safer or not. Positioning handlebars below saddle level can increase pressure on the pelvic - floor.

Answer:

frequently stand up on the pedals to break up long periods of sitting and leaning forward
