what is a clear and precise definition of physical exercise?

Hi Florence,

Here is one definition, since there is no clear and precise one:

“Exercise is physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of conditioning any part of the body. Exercise is used to improve health, maintain fitness and is important as a means of physical rehabilitation.”

As for the second part of your question, it all depends on what exactly are you looking for. For example, what type of musicians are you referring too (orchestra, rock band, marching band, etc.)? What type of instrument (guitar, drums, saxophone, piano, etc.)? Professional level or weekend recreational musicians? Will the musicians be sitting or jumping and moving around the stage?

Best,
Harris

An interesting subject. Here is a citation you might find of interest:

Hello Florence Fong,

Exercise is a regular series of specific movements that are designed to strengthen (in all sense of the word) or develop a part of the body.
Physical fitness and exercise is different for everyone, but helpful for everyone, regardless of their state, age or condition.
Take care,

Exercise is physical activity that is intent on improving some component of physical fitness.

The five components of physical fitness may measure aerobic ability, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
