How to use incline in a sentence?

  1. David Siik:

    I was really concerned that people weren't really understanding that there are consequences for sprinting on too big of an incline all the time, so after a lot of research and really digging into what happens to the body on an incline, we created the 5 percent incline guideline-- we don’t do any maximum sprinting over a 5 percent incline so that you aren’t putting too much pressure on your lower back. We just recalculated the work load so it feels better.
