In this reflective opinion piece, we introduce the concepts of exercise diversity and physical activity diversity. Similar to dietary diversity and dietary variety, exercise/physical activity diversity represents part of a comprehensive target of ideal health, an objective parameter to audit one's progress towards such a goal, and a means of accomplishing this aim. We define this concept as the number of types of exercise, the number of limbs and body parts exercised or muscle groups involved, the variety of intensity, or the number of variations in methods of exercise used. A non-weighted score may be allocated to each exercise, limb, and muscle group to get a raw idea of diversity.
在这篇反思性观点文章中，我们介绍了运动多样性和身体活动多样性的概念。类似于饮食多样性和饮食种类，运动/身体活动多样性代表了理想健康的综合目标的一部分，是审核一个人朝着这一目标取得进展的客观参数，也是实现这一目标的手段。我们将这一概念定义为运动类型的数量、锻炼的肢体和身体部位的数量或参与的肌肉群的数量、强度的多样性，或所使用的运动方法的变化数量。可以为每项运动、肢体和肌肉群分配一个非加权分数，以初步了解多样性。
