5 Planning studio cycling sessions Learning outcomes On completion of this unit you will: 1. Understand the key concepts of studio cycling 2. Understand the key considerations for studio cycling 3. Understand the use of music in studio cycling sessions 4. Know the safety considerations when teaching studio cycling sessions 5. Be able to plan safe and effective studio cycling sessions 6. Know how to carry out basic maintenance and repair on studio cycles Evidence requirements 1. Knowledge outcomes There must be evidence that you possess all the knowledge and understanding listed in the Knowledge section of this unit. In most cases this can be done by professional discussion and/or oral questioning. Other methods, such as projects, assignments and/or reflective accounts may also be used. 2. Tutor/Assessor guidance You will be guided by your tutor/assessor on how to achieve learning outcomes in this unit. All outcomes must be achieved. 3. External paper There is no external paper requirement for this unit. UV

6 Developing knowledge Achieving knowledge outcomes You will be guided by your tutor and assessor on the evidence that needs to be produced. Your knowledge and understanding will be assessed using the assessment methods listed below*: Projects Observed work Witness statements Audio-visual media Evidence of prior learning or attainment Written questions Oral questions Assignments Case studies Professional discussion Where applicable your assessor will integrate knowledge outcomes into practical observations through professional discussion and/or oral questioning. When a criterion has been orally questioned and achieved, your assessor will record this evidence in written form or by other appropriate means. There is no need for you to produce additional evidence as this criterion has already been achieved. Some knowledge and understanding outcomes may require you to show that you know and understand how to do something. If you have practical evidence from your own work that meets knowledge criteria, then there is no requirement for you to be questioned again on the same topic. *This is not an exhaustive list. 4 UV21525

13 Unit content This section provides guidance on the recommended knowledge and skills required to enable you to achieve each of the learning outcomes in this unit. Your tutor/assessor will ensure you have the opportunity to cover all of the unit content. Learning outcome 1: Understand the key concepts of studio cycling History of studio cycling: Johnny Goldberg, Schwinn, other brands and bicycles. Benefits of studio cycling: Health benefits cardiovascular health, muscular strength and endurance, weight loss, leg strength, core strength. Other Benefits injury rehabilitation, nonweight bearing exercise, social interaction. Range of handle bar grips: Traditional position 1 (seated, ride easy), position 2 (seated climb), position 3 (standing climb). Additional standing/seated sprints, jumps, aero (certain bikes). Importance of efficient pedal stroke cadence: Power output, efficiency, full circle, relevance to cadence. Difference between free and fixed wheel cycling: Fixed wheel indoor cycling, braking required. Free wheel outdoor cycling, movement required. Learning outcome 2: Understand the key considerations for studio cycling Importance of posture for efficient breathing: Posture check (shoulders, abdominals, hand grip), breathing pattern, diaphragmatic vervus chest, importance of efficiency, effectiveness, performance, enjoyment. Importance of rehydration: Body temperature, pump blood, metabolise stored fat, toxin removal, hydration (before, during, after). UV

14 Learning outcome 3: Understand the use of music in studio cycling sessions Licensing arrangements: Public Performance Licence (PPL), providers, costs and implications, PPL free providers. Reasons to use a microphone: Instructor health, projection, audio learners, atmosphere, motivational. Music to different profile/sections of class: Beat, tempo, instrumental, lyrics. Profiles warm-up, flat sections, sprint sections, climbing sections, cool down, stretch, special themes. Visualisation techniques: Breathing focused, descriptive journey techniques, chase and race tactics, voice pitch and projection. Learning outcome 4: Know the safety considerations when teaching studio cycling sessions Safety considerations: Exercise environment, bicycle safety, participants health/screening, participants attire, hydration, ability, rest periods. Common injuries: Knee, back and ankle injuries, other injuries e.g. tendonopathy, overuse. Suggestions on how to avoid injury: Bicycle set-up, riding positions, correct resistance, education (e.g. training regimes, overuse), teaching points, technically correct demonstrations, observation from instructor. 12 UV21525

15 Learning outcome 5: Be able to plan safe and effective studio cycling sessions Profiles used to plan studio cycling sessions: Warm-up, seated flat, seated climb, seated sprint, standing flat, standing climb, standing hill sprint, cool down. Plan studio cycling sessions: Ride objectives, profile selection, music choice, introduction, teaching points, technique cues, visualisations, motivational cues. Adaptations or special arrangements: Equipment, facilities or clients (bicycle spacing, layout, fire safety), bicycle adjustments (injury, adaptation, to meet clients needs). Learning outcome 6: Know how to carry out basic maintenance and repair on studio cycles Day to day maintenance: Visual checks, brake, footstraps, stability (level feet to flooring). Weekly bicycle maintenance: Moveable parts, locking mechanisms. Monthly/quarterly bicycle maintenance: Pedals, bottom bracket, resistance (chain/ band), brake pads. UV
