Physical activity (PA) is defined as any bodily movement that results from the contraction of skeletal muscles and that leads to a notable increase in caloric demand relative to the body's resting energy expenditure.
Exercise is a specific type of physical activity (PA) that involves planned, structured, and repetitive body movements, performed with the intention of improving and/or maintaining one or more components of physical fitness
Physical fitness can be defined as the capacity to perform the activities of daily living with vigor and without undue fatigue, while retaining sufficient energy to engage in leisure activities and cope with unforeseen emergencies.
