Sports fitness and its relationship to sports injuries.

The word "mobilise" brings in the positive side of health. "Resources" vary from one person to another and even people with gross physical deformities can achieve a great deal and live a very healthy and productive life. The use of the terms "physically, mentally, spiritually" is preferable to the alternative in the World Health Organisation's definition, i.e. "physically, psychologically and socially". "Preservation" implies survival. Positive health is concerned with health and survival plus, so I introduce in my definition the word "advantage" which covers the productive side. We are chiefly concerned for ourselves rather than anybody else but we must consider others and so put our dependents second and everybody else third. This definition is presented to provide a working base for the different specialists with a common interest in health.
