TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the effect of physical inactivity on these major non-communicable diseases by estimating how much disease could be averted if inactive people were to become active and to estimate gain in life expectancy at the population level.

TL;DR: A high dose of aerobic exercise is recommended to successfully reduce both exercise systolic and diastolic blood pressure and therefore may attenuate the cardiovascular disease risk associated with abnormally elevated exercise blood pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different doses of aerobic exercise training on exercise blood pressure in obese postmenopausal women was investigated and the results showed that a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure at 50 watts in the 4 kcal/ kg/week (−10.9 mmHg, p 0.05) compared to control, and was not associated with changes in exercise systolgic (r=0.09, p = 0.09) or diastolic (r =0.10, p= 0.08) blood pressure.

TL;DR: This study sought to examine potential cardiac determinants of cardiorespiratory fitness change in response to exercise training and the sources of this variability are not well understood.
