French term or phrase: le body
J'ai vu en consultation votre patient, pour douleurs de l'épaule droite depuis une vingtaine d'années, liées à la pratique sportive. Il y a 6 mois, en pratiquant le body, il s'est occasionné une douleur beaucoup plus vive à caractère inflammatoire.


Obviously "le body" is some type of sports or exercise, but which one I can't tell.

body-building
Explanation:
I believe this is body-building, ie muscle-building exercises using machines and free weights.

Eg. All musculation est le site d'information sur le body building. Programmes de musculation, exercices ou conseils nutrition, toutes les informations ...
www.sites-internationaux.com/anglophone/links_to_us/partner...

In comments on body-building video:
"Respect à toutes ces femmes dans leur passion,car si deja les hommes se font cracher dessus en annoncant qu'il pratique le body..."

It's also a classic way to do yourself an injury!

Nb. the other 'body's - body board, Body Pump etc. are all IMO way too new-fangled to be referred to in shorthand by a doctor, who obviously feels whoever is reading it will understand what it is. Body-building has been around for ages.
