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.
