physical movement

Physical movement is the process of changing position or location by applying force to the body or its parts. It involves muscles contracting and relaxing, which generates motion through the skeletal structure. Movements can be voluntary, like walking or reaching, controlled by the brain, or involuntary, like heartbeat or reflexes. Essentially, movement results from the interaction of the nervous system signaling muscles to act, and the muscles producing force, allowing us to navigate our environment, perform tasks, and express ourselves.
