2. Physical Activity
Our health status affects our ability to carry out physical activities. Physical
Activity (PA) is any bodily movement produced by our skeletal muscles that
require energy expenditure above that of rest. It can be viewed as a behavior
that ranges from minimal movement.

3. Sedentary Behavior
Essentially, the term sedentary is used to describe a range of inactive behaviors.
The word sedentary, from the Latin verb sedere, means to sit and is a helpful
reminder that sedentary behaviors usually involve sitting.

4. Exercise vs Physical Activity
Physical Activity should not be mistaken for exercise. Exercise is a form of
physical activity that is structured, repetitive, and planned for the purpose of
improving or maintaining one or more fitness components.

5. Exercise vs Physical Activity
Given the health implications of physical activity and exercise, it is
important to assess your physical activity habits. This entails identifying what
your daily physical activities are, the time spent in, and how intense they are.
