体力

体力 refers to physical strength or energy, typically describing a person's ability to perform physical tasks. It emphasizes the body's capacity for exertion rather than mental or emotional energy.

The character 体 (tǐ) means 'body' and 力 (lì) means 'strength' or 'force.' Together, they literally translate to 'body strength,' highlighting the physical aspect of energy and capability.

体力 is commonly used in contexts related to health, exercise, and work. For example, people might talk about needing more 体力 after a long day or during physical labor. It is also used in sports and fitness discussions, often contrasted with 精力 (jīng lì), which refers to mental energy or vigor.
