Terms Functional Fitness The ability to perform activities of daily life.Health Optimal well-being that contributes to one’s quality of life. It is more than freedom from disease and illness, though freedom from disease is important to good health. Optimal health includes high-level mental, social, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness within the limits of one’s heredity and personal abilities.Healthspan The number of healthy years in your life. It includes years free of illness and debilitating conditions and years of wellness (years with a good quality of life).Hypokinetic Diseases or Conditions Hypo- means “under” or “too little,” and -kinetic means “movement” or “activity.” Thus, hypokinetic means “too little activity.” A hypokinetic disease or condition is one associated with lack of physical activity or too little regular exercise. Examples include heart disease, low back pain, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity.Illness The ill feeling and/or symptoms associated with a disease or circumstances that upset homeostasis.Lifespan The number of years you live (life expectancy).Lifestyles Patterns of behavior or ways an individual typically lives.
