Any proposed activity not relating to a physical work (a permanent, constructed thing) that is listed in the CEAA Inclusion List Regulation and triggers the requirement for an assessment.
Body movement that is produced by the contraction of skeletal muscle that substantially increases energy expenditure above the basal level. Physical activity can be categorised in several ways, including type, intensity and purpose. The physical activity of a person or group is frequently categorised by the context in which it occurs. Common categories include occupational, household, leisure-time, (including competitive sports, recreational activities, exercise training) or transportation.
any bodily movement produced by the contraction of the skeletal muscles that increases energy expenditure above a baseline level. Can also describe activities whereby physical exertion is required and does not necessarily include an activity which is considered a sport (e.g. hiking, jogging, aerobics).
bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure and produces progressive health benefits
An increase in energy used by the muscle as a result of body movement during leisure or non-leisure activity ( Public Health Agency of Canada). Physical activity may be planned and structured, such as a Yoga class, or un-planned and un-structured, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Body movement that requires energy and produces progressive health benefits.
is bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle contraction that results in energy expenditure. This includes occupational activities (i.e. lifting, digging, walking); household tasks (i.e. vacuuming, dusting); transportation (i.e. walking to school or work, bicycling to the store); and leisure activities (i.e. running, golf, basketball).
The entire spectrum of ‘bodily movementsâ€(tm) that each person can undertake in daily life, ranging from normal active living conditions to ‘intentionalâ€(tm) moderate physical activities, to structured and repetitive physical exercises, to physical fitness and training sessions, and collective sport activities, especially leisure and recreational sports. It can be analysed in terms of duration, frequency, intensity, type and context.
"Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure".(Caspersen et. al, 1985: p. 126)
In the Canada Fitness Survey, 1981, individuals were considered physically inactive or sedentary if they reported a usual daily leisure-time energy expenditure of less than 1.5 kcal/kg/day.
Bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure.
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in an expenditure of energy.
Bodily movement that substantially increases energy expenditure.
Any form of exercise or movement. Physical activity may include planned activity such as walking, running, basketball, or other sports. Physical activity may also include other daily activities such as household chores, yard work, walking the dog, etc. It is recommended that adults get at least 30 minutes and children get at least 60 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week. Moderate physical activity is any activity that requires about as much energy as walking two miles in 30 minutes.
