Physical Activity and Exercise

Physical activity is any bodily movement using skeletal muscles, resulting in energy expenditure.
Exercise is a planned, structured, and repetitive physical activity aimed at improving or maintaining physical fitness.

Physical Fitness

Definition: The ability to perform daily tasks without fatigue, participate in physical activities, and have reserves for emergencies.
Components:
- Health-related:
  - Body composition: The relative amount of fat to fat-free mass.
  - Flexibility: Full range of motion at joints.
  - Cardiovascular endurance: Efficient oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues.
  - Muscular endurance: Repeated muscle activity without fatigue.
  - Muscular strength: Muscle force generation.
- Skill-related:
  - Agility: Quick changes in body position with control.
  - Speed: Moving in one direction as fast as possible.
  - Balance: Maintaining body control and stability.
  - Coordination: Cooperative body part movements.
  - Power: Strength and speed combined.
  - Reaction time: Quick response to a signal.

Principles of Training

Adaptation: The body's physiological response to repeated training.
Specificity: Exercise adaptations are specific to the type of activity.
Progressive overload: Gradually increasing exercise demands to continue fitness improvements.
