Health fitness standards
Fitness programs prescribed to improve the individuals overall health
Health related fitness
Damage to an area of the myocardium (heart muscle) that is deprived of oxygen, usually due to a blockage of a diseased coronary artery

Light physical activity

Mental wellness
A measurement of plasma, insulin, glucose, lipid, and lipoprotein levels to assess risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Metabolic profile
Activity that uses 150 cal of energy per day or 1000 cal per week

Morbidity
Energy expended doing every day activities not related to exercise
Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)

Systolic blood pressure (SBP)
Any exercise that requires a MET level equal to or greater than 6 METs (21mL/kg/min). One MET is the energy expenditure at rest, 3.5 mL/kg/min, and METs are defined as multiples of this resting metabolic rate.
Vigorous physical activity
The constant in deliberate effort to stay healthy and achieve the highest potential for well-being. Seven dimensions: physical, emotional, mental, social, environmental, occupational, and spiritual
