AB  - Ancient  philosophers  and  medical  scientists,  English  Lords,  and  United  States  Presidents  have  noted  the  health  benefits  of  living  an  active  life  for  thousands  of  years.  Attempts  to  quantify  the  role  of  physical  activity  and  health  using  scientific  methods  have  been  much  more  recent,  beginning  in  earnest  during  the  mid-twentieth  century  with  a  series  of  foundational  epidemiological  studies.1,2  In  the  decades  since,  cohort  epidemiological  studies  have  demonstrated  clear  and  consistent  benefits  of  physical  activity  on  a  broad  range  of  health  outcomes  and  mortality  using  a  variety  of  different  techniques  to  quantify  activity.  National  and  global  surveillance  systems  provide  population-level  physical  activity  prevalence  data,  which  is  used  to  guide  public  health  recommendations  for  optimal  health.  To  understand  how  epidemiology  informs  our  understanding  the  role  of  lifestyle  and  physiology  in  preventive  medicine  and  disease  treatment,  it  is  important  to  define  the  different  aspects  physical  activity  and  fitness.
