What are the Base Pace parameters for the Bike?

The Base Pace parameters for the Bike focus on achieving a rhythm that allows members to maintain a steady effort while optimizing their cardiovascular effectiveness. For the designated Base Pace, the range of 80-100 RPM (revolutions per minute) at gear 6 or greater is appropriate as it balances the intensity of effort with the ability to sustain that effort over time.

This RPM range ensures that participants are working at a level that is challenging yet manageable, allowing them to build endurance and improve their aerobic capacity. The specified gear level of 6 or greater contributes to maintaining that level of intensity, which is crucial during the Base Pace segment of a workout. Utilizing higher gear levels while maintaining a suitable RPM encourages participants to engage their muscles effectively, enhancing strength alongside cardiovascular benefits.

In contrast, the other options present RPM and gear combinations that either push for a higher intensity than what is suitable for Base Pace or do not align with the expected performance standards for this particular segment of training. Therefore, the choice of 80-100 RPM at gear 6 or greater accurately captures the parameters required for achieving an effective Base Pace during the Bike segment.
