Abstract

Physical (in) activity can be described in the context of work, home, transport or leisure time. However, physical activity and inactivity are different constructs and therefore require different treatments [1]. Indeed, activity and inactivity are not opposite sides of the same coin but are coins of different denominations and have to be handled with not just ‘kid’s gloves’ but with ‘different gloves’ [2]. The causes of physical inactivity are multifaceted, complex and difficult to eradicate since the many lifestyle conveniences are anchored on physical inactivity. It appears that physical inactivity will worsen as technological gadgets make physical exertion unnecessary.
