Question

in kinesiology and according to this text, the concept of health differs from the concept of wellness in that:

• wellness refers to a state of lacking illness and injury, while health goes a step further to include happiness and one’s sense of self - fulfillment
• health refers to a state of lacking illness and injury, while wellness goes a step further to include happiness and one’s sense of self - fulfillment
• health includes the dynamic aspects of a person’s attempt to reach his or her potential, while wellness involves a state of well - being created by a combination of health and happiness
• health is a subjective and personal experience, while wellness can be quantitatively measured and studied

Explanation:

In kinesiology, the standard understanding is that health is often defined as the absence of illness or injury. Wellness is a more comprehensive concept that encompasses not just the physical absence of disease (which is part of health) but also psychological and emotional aspects like happiness and self - fulfillment. Option A has health and wellness reversed. Option C misdefines the dynamic and static aspects (wellness is more about the dynamic pursuit of potential, and health can be seen as a more static state of no illness/injury in this context). Option D also misrepresents the subjective/objective nature; health can be objectively measured in terms of disease absence, and wellness has subjective components too. So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. health refers to a state of lacking illness and injury, while wellness goes a step further to include happiness and one’s sense of self - fulfillment
