(37 cards)
Physical activity
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle contraction with an increase in energy expenditure
Exercise
A type of PA consisting of planned, structured repetitive bodily movements done to improve/maintain physical fitness
Physical inactivity
Failure to meet the PA guidelines
Sedentary behavior
