ABSTRACT
Physical activity has the broader meaning of
the two and encapsulates all significant bodily
movement engaged in through the daily
routine such as housework, walking and
cycling as a form of transport, shopping and
active hobbies. Exercise is confined to those
physical activities (which might include some
from this list) that are undertaken with the
intention of improving aspects of health,
fitness or weight management. Exercise is the
main focus of almost all of the summarized
research discussed in this chapter.
