Volitional Exercise

Volitional exercise refers to physical activity that is intentionally undertaken, driven by conscious decision and effort. Unlike involuntary movements (like reflexes), volitional exercise involves deliberate choices to move the body, such as walking, running, or lifting weights. It engages voluntary muscles through mental intention, often motivated by health goals, recreation, or performance improvement. This type of exercise is essential for maintaining physical health, improving strength, endurance, and mental well-being, as it requires active participation rather than automatic or reflexive movements.
