Talking about functional ability

How can we understand each other? In a way it is very easy to say that physical activity equals to the amount of energy you burn. It’s just a little difficult for us to know how much we are burning. And it is difficult for us to know how much we are getting from our food too.

I am looking at physical activity and how it affects our functional ability. My presumption is that we can be doing too much and too little at the same time. (Having just the beef, but forgetting our vegetables.)

How do we talk about functionality? What should we be able to do? And what is just aging or our body structure prevents us from doing?

Human body can be practiced to do stunning performance, but what is healthy in the long run? Or other way around, we can spare us from physical stress for years and still manage to do our daily work, but after a while inactivity starts to have bad influence.

How do we communicate about natural movements, functionality and physical activity so that we can understand each other? (I’d say that we should use video as much as possible – it’s good for communication of movements:-)
