Physical Activity (Exercise): Voluntary movement of the body that enhances health, fitness, and well-being, including sports, walking, and daily movements.
Sedentary Lifestyle: A lifestyle characterized by prolonged sitting or inactivity, leading to health issues such as muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular problems.
Muscle Contraction: The process by which muscle fibers generate force through the interaction of actin and myosin filaments, enabling movement and strength.
Bone Remodeling: The continuous process where old bone tissue is replaced by new tissue, influenced by physical activity and nutrition, essential for bone strength and density.
Energy Metabolism: The biochemical process of converting nutrients into energy (ATP) for bodily functions, involving pathways like aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
