Explanation of Solution

The main goal of the philosophical study of physical activity is to understand the nature of health and physical activity and its contribution towards a healthy living. Further, it also focuses on the behavior of individuals in sports.

  • Personal opinion: It indicates the preference of an individual. It becomes difficult to support the judgment of each individual.
  • Speculations: Speculations are difficult to support with evidence. Speculations are always associated with doubt and can lead to biased conclusions.

  • Truth assertion: These are those claims that are very difficult to question and can be based on peer-reviewed information.
