ISSA BODYBUILDING PRACTICE EXAMQUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔helper synergist - ✔✔Contraction directly assists the Agonist, but muscle is not
considered one of the "prime movers"
2 muscles are helping synergists when they cancel each other's normal movement,
allowing the desired movement to occur
✔✔inertia - ✔✔The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion - inactivity
✔✔fulcrum - ✔✔The fixed point around which a lever pivots
✔✔origin - ✔✔attachment of a muscle that remains relatively fixed during muscular
contraction
a fixed point towards the center of the body
✔✔insertion - ✔✔the moving point and is away from the body
✔✔functional reversibility - ✔✔occurs when a muscle reverses the relationship between
attachment sites and the origin moves toward the insertion
✔✔lever - ✔✔-A lever is a bar or some other rigid object, hinged at one point, to which
forces are applied at two other points
-A rigid bar that is free to move around a fixed point
✔✔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
