What intensity should follow sprints on a flat?

Following sprints on a flat surface, the intensity should shift to active recovery. Active recovery, characterized by low-intensity movement or cycling at a reduced pace, allows the body to recover while still engaging the muscles gently. This approach helps in clearing lactate from the muscles and promotes blood flow, which can aid in faster recovery.

By maintaining some level of activity rather than stopping completely, participants can prevent stiffness and maintain a smoother transition to subsequent workout phases. This strategy is particularly useful in a spinning class context, as it encourages participants to remain engaged and can help optimize their overall performance during the session.
