No activity points have been around since the start of the Points system (not sure before that).
When you exercise your body 'can' need more fuel so you can trade out APs on the day earned for more food.
For example if I do a 3 Mile WATP tape and earn 3 points for it. I add it to may daily points (so say I get 24 points a day I can then use 27 without using any of my weekly points).
Ok now you are going to ask well isn't just making the exercise mean nothing....no! A food point in very, very, very general terms is approximately 50 calories and an activity point in very, very, very general terms is about 100 calories burned (rermember that fat, fiber play into food points and intensity, time done and current weight play into activity points).
If you go your points slider you have the activity points booster to figure your ponits.
