ISSA TRANSFORMATION SPECIALIST TEST PAPER
2025/2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔What is the most common lever in the body? - ✔✔third class lever
✔✔limit strength - ✔✔The ability to produce maximum force voluntarily in a given action
✔✔eccentric strength - ✔✔amount of weight you can lower without losing control
✔✔static strength - ✔✔amount of weight you can hold stationary without losing control
✔✔concentric strength - ✔✔amount of weight you can lift one time with an all-out
muscle contraction
✔✔hypoxia effect - ✔✔breathless like state (ex: during squats)
✔✔Electromyography (EMG) - ✔✔Measures muscle response or electrical activity in
response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle.
A technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced during
voluntary contractions by skeletal muscles.
✔✔mechanical tension - ✔✔Amount of weight a bone can bear -
equates to the muscular force in strength training exercises
✔✔metabolic stress - ✔✔acid buildup in the muscle
✔✔Mean EMG Activation - ✔✔The average electrical activity of a muscle during the
exercise performed.
✔✔Peak EMG activation - ✔✔The highest amount of electrical activity during the
exercise.
✔✔who is the founding father of bodybuilding? - ✔✔Eugene Sandow
✔✔limit strength - ✔✔how much musculoskeletal force you can generate for one all-out
effort.
✔✔amortization - ✔✔brief period between eccentric and concentric contraction
ex: squatting the brief period between the descent and the ascent (strength curve)
✔✔F max - ✔✔maximum amount of force produced (strength curve)
✔✔T max - ✔✔amount of time it takes to reach F max
