Exercici

Exercici is the Catalan noun for exercise, training, or practice. It derives from the Latin exercitium, from exercere, to train, employ, or exercise. In Catalan, exercici is used across contexts including physical activity, education, law, and accounting, where it can denote the act of exercising a right or the duration of a financial year.

In health and sport, exercici refers to physical activity undertaken to improve fitness, health, or skill. It encompasses aerobic activities, strength work, flexibility and balance training, and sport-specific drills.

Guidelines and benefits: Regular exercici is linked to lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain mental health conditions; it supports weight management and sleep quality. Public health guidance commonly recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercici per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, plus muscle-strengthening exercises on two or more days. Individuals should consider medical advice to tailor intensity, start gradually, and include a warm-up and cooldown.

Other uses: In law and governance, exercici means the exercise or application of a right or power. In accounting, exercici can refer to a financial year or accounting period. In education, exercicis are practice problems or assignments used to reinforce learning.

Exercici, as a term, highlights the breadth of practice, training, and formal activity across Catalan-speaking contexts.
