In recent years digital technologies have become a major means for providing health-related services and this trend was strongly reinforced by the current Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As it is well-known that regular physical activity has positive effects on individual physical and mental health and thus is an important prerequisite for healthy aging, digital technologies are also increasingly used to promote unstructured and structured forms of physical activity. However, in the course of this development, several terms (e.g., Digital Health, Electronic Health, Mobile Health, Telehealth, Telemedicine, and Telerehabilitation) have been introduced to refer to the application of digital technologies to provide health-related services such as physical interventions. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned terms are often used in several different ways, but also relatively interchangeably. Given that ambiguous terminology is a major source of difficulty in scientific communication which can impede the progress of theoretical and empirical research, this article aims to make the reader aware of the subtle differences between the relevant terms which are applied at the intersection of physical activity and Digital Health and to provide state-of-art definitions for them.

走向数字化——对身体活动和数字健康交叉领域使用的术语的评论

近年来，数字技术已成为提供健康相关服务的主要手段，当前 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行进一步强化了这一趋势。众所周知，定期的身体活动对个人身心健康具有积极影响，是健康老龄化的重要前提，因此数字技术也越来越多地用于促进非结构化和结构化形式的身体活动。然而，在这一发展过程中，引入了几个术语（例如，数字健康、电子健康、移动健康、远程医疗、远程医疗和远程康复）来指代数字技术的应用，以提供与健康相关的服务，例如物理治疗。干预措施。不幸的是，上述术语经常以多种不同的方式使用，而且也可以相对互换。鉴于模糊的术语是科学交流中的一个主要困难来源，它会阻碍理论和实证研究的进展，本文旨在让读者意识到在身体活动和实践交叉点应用的相关术语之间的细微差别。数字健康并为其提供最先进的定义。
