“身体活动”、“锻炼”和“身体健康”是描述不同概念的术语。然而,它们经常相互混淆,有时这些术语可以互换使用。本文提出了区分它们的定义。身体活动被定义为导致能量消耗的由骨骼肌产生的任何身体运动。能量消耗可以用千卡来衡量。日常生活中的身体活动可以分为职业活动、运动活动、调节活动、家务活动或其他活动。运动是身体活动的一个子集,它是有计划的,结构化的,重复的,并作为最终或中间目标,以改善或保持身体健康。身体素质是一组与健康或技能相关的属性。人们拥有这些属性的程度可以通过特定的测试来衡量。这些定义是作为一个解释性的框架,用于比较与身体活动,锻炼和身体健康相关的研究。
"Physical activity," "exercise," and "physical fitness" are terms that describe different concepts. However, they are often confused with one another, and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. This paper proposes definitions to distinguish them. Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure. The energy expenditure can be measured in kilocalories. Physical activity in daily life can be categorized into occupational, sports, conditioning, household, or other activities. Exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive and has as a final or an intermediate objective the improvement or maintenance of physical fitness. Physical fitness is a set of attributes that are either health- or skill-related. The degree to which people have these attributes can be measured with specific tests. These definitions are offered as an interpretational framework for comparing studies that relate physical activity, exercise, and physical fitness to health.
