TLDR
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.About:

Patterns of health behaviour associated with active travel: a compositional data analysis
TL;DR: Overall, active travel was associated with a broadly health-promoting composition of time across multiple behavioural domains, which supports the public health case for active travel.

Leveraging mass participation events for sustainable health legacy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the evidence on whether mass participation events attract non-sporty members of the population, and the evidence that events can be leveraged for long-term health gain.

TL;DR: The present data indicate that the thermoregulatory responses of exercising rats can be extrapolated, with some important limitations, to human thermal physiology, including thermal physiology.

Moving to business – changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior after multilevel intervention in small and medium-size workplaces
Minna Aittasalo,Matleena Livson,Sirpa Lusa,Ahti Romo,Henri Vähä-Ypyä,Kari Tokola,Harri Sievänen,Ari Mänttäri,Tommi Vasankari +8 more
TL;DR: Employees’ PA increased and SB reduced at work during the intervention and at the same time leisure PA decreased slightly, suggesting workplaces can achieve meaningful changes in employees’PA and SB if assisted systematically.

TL;DR: Among sedentary PLHIV at high risk of cardiovascular disease, the SystemCHANGE intervention reduced daily carbohydrate intake and body weight, but did not increase physical activity or improve overall diet quality.

Effect of potentially modifiable risk factors associated with myocardial infarction in 52 countries (the INTERHEART study): case-control study
Salim Yusuf,Steven Hawken,Stephanie Ôunpuu,Tony Dans,Alvaro Avezum,Fernando Lanas,Matthew J. McQueen,Andrzej Budaj,Prem Pais,John Varigos,Liu Lisheng +10 more
TL;DR: Abnormal lipids, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, abdominal obesity, psychosocial factors, consumption of fruits, vegetables, and alcohol, and regular physical activity account for most of the risk of myocardial infarction worldwide in both sexes and at all ages in all regions.

TL;DR: With or without consideration of hypertension, cigarette smoking, extremes or gains in body weight, or early parental death, alumni mortality rates were significantly lower among the physically active than among less active men.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature search was conducted for observational cohort studies using MEDLINE (1966 to December 31, 2008) and EMBASE (1980 to December 30, 2008), which reported associations of baseline cardiorespiratory fitness with CHD events, CVD events, or all-cause mortality in healthy participants.
