ISSA TRANSFORMATION SPECIALIST 2025/2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔true or false: Hyperplasia has not been proven in humans - ✔✔True
✔✔contracted exercises - ✔✔exercises where constant tension is placed on the muscle
throughout the movement (peak contraction exercises)
-cable movements are a great example
✔✔true or false: Reverse bands can offer the benefits of a compound movement while
overloading individual muscles in compliance with the principle of isolation. - ✔✔True
✔✔tabata training - ✔✔A popular form of interval training that includes performing an
activity all out for 20 seconds, followed by a 10-second rest interval.
✔✔variable manipulation - ✔✔Different elements you can vary to increase (or decrease)
intensity. Rest periods, weight on the bar, and number of sets are all examples of
variables you can change.
✔✔ - ✔✔
✔✔ Reciprocal Innervation - ✔✔When a prime mover muscle (or group of muscles)
contracts, the opposing muscle (or group) relaxes.
✔✔myofilaments - ✔✔The elements of the muscle that shorten upon contraction.
✔✔Myosin - ✔✔Short, thick filaments that make up part of myofilaments.
✔✔Actin - ✔✔Long, thin filaments that make up part of myofilaments.
✔✔Myofibrils - ✔✔small bundles of myofilaments
✔✔sliding filament theory - ✔✔This theory states that a myofibril contracts by the actin
and myosin filaments sliding over each other. Chemical bonds and receptor sites on the
myofilaments attract each other, allowing the contraction to be held until fatigue
interferes.
✔✔Satelitte Cells - ✔✔non-contractile muscle cells that help support or bulwark the
tenuous IIx fibers
✔✔myoglobin - ✔✔a protein found in your striated muscles and its main function is to
supply oxygen to the cells of your muscles (myocytes).
✔✔connective tissue - ✔✔connect muscle to bones and to connect joints together
