It encompasses the physical, mental, and volitional aspects required to initiate, sustain, and complete activities. This term is often used in contexts related to health, rehabilitation, and well-being, highlighting the importance of maintaining a functional level of activity.

Physical aktiivisuuskykyä involves the body's ability to perform movements, endure exertion, and maintain balance and coordination. This can be influenced by factors such as muscle strength, cardiovascular health, and joint mobility. Mental aktiivisuuskykyä pertains to cognitive functions like attention, motivation, planning, and decision-making that are necessary for undertaking and managing activities.

A decline in aktiivisuuskykyä can impact an individual's independence, quality of life, and participation in social and occupational roles. Factors contributing to a decrease in aktiivisuuskykyä can include aging, chronic illnesses, injuries, or psychological conditions. Conversely, interventions aimed at improving physical fitness, cognitive function, and mental well-being can enhance aktiivisuuskykyä.
