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:

TL;DR: Implementing an active PE policy at the elementary school level could have a small impact on physical activity levels in the population and potentially lead to reductions in BMI and obesity-related healthcare expenditures over 10 years.

Inflammation, physical activity, and chronic disease: An evolutionary perspective
TL;DR: The goal of this article is to provide a brief overview on the importance of inflammation as part of human survival and how physical activity and physical inactivity are critical regulators of systemic inflammation.

TL;DR: In free-living adult women, accelerometry-estimated nighttime sleep and physical activity patterns were not associated with one another and higher physical activity will not necessarily improve sleep at night on a day-to-day basis.

TL;DR: The BETA Trial will inform future prevention initiatives by assessing adherence to a high volume of exercise over 12 months by postmenopausal women, and the ability of these women to maintain activity over the longer-term, and compare public health guidelines for reducing breast cancer risk through physical activity.

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.
