• Physical activity refers to any bodily movement that uses
energy, including activities like walking, gardening, playing
with children, and doing household chores. It's any movement
that gets your heart rate up and makes you breathe harder.
• Physical exercise is a planned, structured, and repetitive
bodily movement done to improve or maintain physical
fitness. It includes activities like running, swimming,
weightlifting, and yoga.
Aerobic - light to vigorous-intensity physical activity
that requires more oxygen than sedentary behavior
and thus promotes cardiovascular fitness and other
health benefits (e.g., jumping rope, biking, swimming,
running; playing soccer, basketball, or volleyball).
Anaerobic – intense physical activity that is short in
duration and requires a breakdown of energy sources
in the absence of sufficient oxygen. Energy sources
are replenished as an individual recovers from the
activity. Anaerobic activity (e.g., sprinting during
running, swimming, or biking) requires maximal
performance during the brief period.
Lifestyle – physical activity typically performed on a
routine basis (e.g., walking, climbing stairs, mowing or
raking the yard), which is usually light to moderate in
intensity. Physical activity play – play activity that
requires substantial energy expenditure (e.g., playing
tag, jumping rope).
Play – activity with flexible rules, usually self-selected,
for the purpose of having fun.
Sports – physical activity that involves competition,
scorekeeping, rules, and an outcome that cannot be
predetermined. There are two categories of sports:
individual and team.
Weight-bearing – physical activity that requires
people to move their own weight.
Calisthenics. Is a form of exercise that uses a person's
body weight and requires little to no equipment.
Examples of calisthenic exercises include pushups,
crunches, and burpees.
Flexibility (Stretching). Exercise designed to stretch
muscles and tendons to increase joint flexibility or
range of motion. Specific flexibility exercises need to
be done for each part of the body.
Isokinetic. It is a type of resisted exercise using
specialized equipment to maintain a constant velocity
of motion while the resistance adjusts throughout the
range of motion.
Isotonic. It relies on consistent resistance and a full
range of motion to build strength.
Isometric. Is exercises increase strength and
endurance by engaging the muscles without
movement.
