Definition
健壮 (jiàn zhuàng) describes someone or something that is both healthy and physically strong — a combination of health and strength. It differs from 健康 (jiàn kāng), which only means 'healthy' without implying strength, and from 强壮 (qiáng zhuàng), which emphasizes raw physical power more than overall health. 健壮 is often used for people, animals, and plants (e.g., a robust tree).
