A functional quality of well-being that is influenced by and associated with participation in physical activity. The ability to perform muscular work satisfactorily. It is determined by the level of several attributes which are influenced by activity such as cardiovascular-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition.
