Definition
强壮 (qiáng zhuàng) is the common word for a person's or animal's strong, sturdy physique, emphasizing muscular strength and overall health. It differs from 健壮 (jiàn zhuàng), which focuses more on being healthy and robust (often after recovery), and from the single-character 壮 (zhuàng), which is more literary or used in compounds.
