Capacity
The amount of effort, attention, or time a person can reasonably offer in a particular setting. Capacity may shift with sleep, work, travel, weather, and responsibilities.
Reference desk
A practical glossary for reading Loreus.
Words about movement and long-term wellbeing can carry different meanings in different communities. This reference uses plain language, notes limits, and keeps interpretation close to everyday experience.
Consistency
A pattern that can be repeated with reasonable flexibility. It does not mean identical performance or an unbroken record; it means a practice has a place in ordinary life.
Mobility
The ability to move through available ranges and environments with control and confidence. Loreus uses the term broadly, from getting up from a chair to turning comfortably during a walk.
Recovery
The collection of pauses, sleep routines, meals, gentle movement, and social conditions that help a person return to ordinary demands. It is not a single technique or fixed timetable.
Progression
A considered change in duration, complexity, pace, or load. A useful progression is gradual enough to observe and adjustable when context changes.
Readiness
A short description of how prepared someone feels for a planned activity. Readiness is a personal observation, not a score that determines someone’s value or identity.
Terms in context
| Term | Plain meaning | Practical question |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | A familiar reference point | What feels ordinary on a typical week? |
| Intensity | How demanding an activity feels | Can the effort be described without comparison? |
| Range | The space between easier and more demanding options | What adjustment would keep participation comfortable? |
| Routine | A repeated sequence with a recognizable beginning | When does it fit naturally into the day? |
| Reflection | A short review of what happened | What should be kept, changed, or paused? |
How to use a term carefully
- Read the definition in the context of the full article.
- Ask whether the word describes an observation, a preference, or an instruction.
- Look for the limits: duration, setting, audience, and uncertainty.
- Translate the idea into one small action that can be reviewed later.
“Clear language does not make a subject smaller. It gives readers enough room to ask better questions and make more careful interpretations.”
Common points of confusion
Is consistency the same as doing the same thing every day?
No. Consistency can mean returning to a useful pattern while changing the duration, route, or form to match the week.
Does progression always mean more?
No. It can mean better control, a calmer pace, a clearer boundary, or a more sustainable schedule.
Why include context in a definition?
Because a word can sound precise while hiding practical differences in environment, history, and access.
