The term exercise presents various references depending on the context in which it is used.
Psychology: the interaction of the human being with the surrounding environment
As part of Psychology, the activity turns out to be that situation that mediates the link that the subject has with the world that surrounds him.. Putting it in a bit more formal terms, activity is the set of phenomena that active life presents, such as instincts, habits, will and tendencies, among others and that are, together with sensitivity and intelligence, the fundamental parts of classical psychology.
Most of the time the activity is linked to a certain need that the search arouses.
At the very moment of activity, whether individual or collective, the psychic reflection of reality takes place and it is there that the formation of consciousness occurs.
Capacity to act
Another application of the term is to refer to the power to act. "Even despite the years, the teacher remains in constant activity."
We apply this sense of the term especially to people, objects, and any other element that produces an action, because in that way it is precisely manifesting an activity. The opposite of activity is inaction.
Physical activity to enjoy health and keep fit
When someone or something is in activity they will be in motion or producing the development of some issue.
In the case of people who perform exercises, sports, or any type of movement strictly linked to their body, it will be discussed in terms of physical activity.
This type of activity, whatever your type, is very important to keep fit but it is also very important to enjoy a healthy state. Doctors always recommend doing physical activities, of any kind, but doing them at the end, because it is good that the body is in motion and not sedentary in a chair all day.
Physical activity helps prevent cardiovascular problems, helps reduce bad cholesterol, lose weight, reduce blood pressure that causes many conditions, and we must also say that physical activity helps reduce daily stress and therefore we it will do very well emotionally.
Mental activity
On the other hand, we must say that people have a constant mental and intellectual activity that is what allows us to reflect on life, make choices and of course also apprehend knowledge of different kinds. Although in this specific case the activity is not evident because the person is usually still and in a rather static disposition when he thinks in this way, the activity is certainly constant.
Efficiency with which a job is done
On the other hand, when you want to account for the efficiency and diligence with which an individual performs a task, a job, among others, the word activity is often used to refer to such a situation. "The activity carried out by the president is really noteworthy."
Tasks of a person or company
Also, at set of operations or tasks that are specific to a company or a person are designated with the term of activity; business activity, teaching activity.
In other cases, the word activity is used recurrently as synonym of the words task or occupation. "The school activity this year was really exhausting."
Use in physics
TO Instances of Physics, the word activity also has a special reference, since in this way it designates the number of radioactive atomic nuclei that a substance has and that decay per unit of time. The unit of radioactive activity is called a curie.
Without activity
And on the other hand, the concept without activity is widely used in our language to indicate that someone or we ourselves find ourselves without work for x reason, because we were fired, because we are unemployed or because we quit the job we had.
Also, when something is said to be inactive, it is because it is stopped, stopped, it is not producing.
