Article Title: Exercise: A unitary concept
Abstract: Nursing science provides the opportunity to frame one's vision of humans and health and create interventions that facilitate wellness. This article contributes to nursing science by reconceptualizing exercise as a unitary concept using Parse's process of concept inventing. Concept inventing is a way to uncover the uniqueness of particular concepts and articulate their essence within the simultaneity paradigm. It differs from traditional, linear processes that are derived from the totality paradigm. Through the process of concept inventing, exercise is described within Rogers's science of unitary human beings and conceptualized as the purposeful, rhythmic flow of human movement.
