physical fitness
Let an agent explain the components of physical fitness, relay activity guidelines from health bodies, support fitness planning and measurement in general terms, and route health concerns to professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the components of physical fitness, relay activity guidelines from health bodies, support fitness planning and measurement in general terms, and route health concerns to professionals.
A state of health and wellbeing enabling a person to perform daily activities, work and sport effectively, comprising components such as cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, body composition and functional performance, developed through physical activity including individual, group and outdoor fitness; physical fitness is measured by tests and promoted by health guidelines.
What it is for: Capacity for physical activity and health.
It can be explain components of fitness; relay activity guidelines; support planning and measurement; route health concerns.
