Effect of physical inactivity on major non-communicable diseases worldwide: an analysis of burden of disease and life expectancy
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:

Worldwide trends in insufficient physical activity from 2001 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 358 population-based surveys with 1·9 million participants
TL;DR: If current trends continue, the 2025 global physical activity target (a 10% relative reduction in insufficient physical activity) will not be met and policies to increase population levels of physical activity need to be prioritised and scaled up urgently.

The pandemic of physical inactivity: global action for public health
Harold W. Kohl,Cora L Craig,Estelle V. Lambert,Shigeru Inoue,Jasem Ramadan Alkandari,Grit Leetongin,Sonja Kahlmeier +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarise present global efforts to counteract this problem and point the way forward to address the pandemic of physical inactivity, concluding that, although evidence for the benefits of physical activity for health has been available since the 1950s, promotion to improve the health of populations has lagged in relation to the available evidence.
