ATIVIDADE FÍSICA X EXERCÍCIO FÍSICO

What's the difference between PHYSICAL ACTIVITY and PHYSICAL EXERCISE? You're taking that leisurely walk, thinking you're exercising. Pay attention, my friend... perhaps that walk isn't considered physical exercise, but simply physical activity. So, a question arises: aren't the two the same thing? I'll tell you no. Physical activity is not the same as physical exercise, and therefore doesn't provide all the benefits that physical exercise can provide. Physical activity is any movement you do voluntarily, that is, any bodily movement you do voluntarily: walking, getting a glass of water, lifting your foot to climb a flight of stairs are some examples. Physical exercise, on the other hand, is body movements done intentionally, programmed, and systematically. Physical exercise can be considered movements we do intentionally, like physical activity. However, they are planned and performed with regularity and an end goal, which could be: improving health, increasing muscle strength, etc. Therefore, in physical exercise, movements should be performed at a pre-planned time and with a higher intensity than normal, everyday activity. Taking the example of walking I mentioned at the beginning, if you walk, simply for the sake of it, at the same speed you normally walk to the supermarket, without planning the time you will spend, the intensity, or how many times per week, that walk is simply physical activity. Now, if you create a workout plan, for example, walking four times a week, taking 100 steps every minute and walking 35 minutes per day, you turn that simple walk into physical exercise. But don't think that physical activities can't improve your health or bring you physical and physical benefits. They can, but physical exercise can do much more. Now that you know the difference, practice, practice lots of physical exercise. Your body and your health will thank you. #differencebetweenphysicalactivityandphysicalexercise #physicalactivity #physicalexercise #physicalactivityvsphysicalexercise #physicaleducation #physicaleducationclass
