Document Summary

Prevalence: proportion of cases of a disease or illness within a population at a particular point in time. Energy expenditure of activity: net transfer of energy required to support skeletal muscle contraction during physical activity. Quantity of the volume or dose of physical activity (product of frequency, duration, and intensity of a specified physical activity) expressed as kilocalories per week or metabolic equivalent hours per week. (met-hours/week) Cardiorespiratory fitness: max physical working capacity or aerobic power; integrated assessment of the function of the heart, lungs and vascular system and skeletal muscles. Muscular fitness: part of physical fitness that encompasses the expression of max skeletal muscle strength and skeletal muscle endurance at submaximal power output. Rates: way of expressing exposures and outcomes in epidemiology; numerator (number of cases or individuals with characteristic) and denominator (number of individuals in the population from which the cases are derived). Rates may be expressed as a proportion as fraction or percentage.
