This conceptual analysis presents an argument that a new and broader definition of physical activity is needed for educators, researchers, and policy makers. To build a case for change, this paper has four parts. First, it outlines why definitions are important. Second, the current dominant definition of physical activity is examined and critiqued. Third, the case for change to the dominant definition is made. Fourth, a new, broader definition for physical activity is offered and justified. The new, broader definition of physical activity is proposed as involving "people moving, acting and performing within culturally specific spaces and contexts, and influenced by a unique array of interests, emotions, ideas, instructions and relationships."
这一概念分析提出了一个观点,即教育工作者、研究人员和政策制定者需要一个新的、更宽泛的身体活动定义。为了论证变革的必要性,本文分为四个部分。第一,概述定义为何重要。第二,审视并批判当前身体活动的主导定义。第三,阐述改变主导定义的理由。第四,给出并论证一个新的、更宽泛的身体活动定义。所提出的身体活动新的、更宽泛定义涉及“人们在特定文化空间和背景中移动、行动及表现,并受到一系列独特的兴趣、情感、观念、指令和关系的影响”。
