Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Professional designation for the sport of bodybuilding is?

Answer: International Federation Of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB)

The IFBB was founded in 1946 as the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness and, in 2004, was renamed the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (but retained the "IFBB" abbreviation). An attempt was made to form the WBBA headed by Vince McMahon. It didn't last.

2. What is the correct term for the soreness one feels in a muscle, approximately 24 hours after an intense workout with weights?

4. What is the condition (more common among natural bodybuilders), in which one would experience: constant fatigue, headaches, lack of motivation, weight loss, loss of muscle tissue?
