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:

Sedentary behaviour and health: mapping environmental and social contexts to underpin chronic disease prevention
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider what has been learned from research on relationships of environmental and social attributes and physical activity; provide an overview of recent-emerging evidence on relationship of environmental attributes with sedentary behaviour; argue for the importance of conducting international comparative studies and addressing life-stage issues and socioeconomic inequalities and propose a conceptual model within which this research agenda may be addressed.

Persuasive Technology in Mobile Applications Promoting Physical Activity: a Systematic Review
TL;DR: The current state of mobile applications for health behavioural change with an emphasis on applications that promote physical activity is reviewed, and system credibility support was found to have only low levels of representation as a persuasive systems design feature in mobile application for supporting physical activity.

Emotional intelligence in sport and exercise: A systematic review.
TL;DR: The tripartite model proposes that EI operates on three levels – knowledge, ability, and trait – and predicts an interplay between the different levels of EI.

Mitesh S. Patel,David A. Asch,Roy Rosin,Dylan S. Small,Scarlett L. Bellamy,Jack Heuer,Susan Sproat,Chris Hyson,Nancy Haff,Samantha M. Lee,Lisa Wesby,Karen Hoffer,David Shuttleworth,Devon H. Taylor,Victoria Hilbert,Jingsan Zhu,Lin Yang,Xingmei Wang,Kevin G. Volpp +18 more
TL;DR: The up-front allocation of a financial reward and subsequent loss when physical activity goals were not met resulted in greater daily exercise than no incentive, and providing a reward when goals were met did not increase physical activity.

The effect of street-level greenery on walking behavior: Evidence from Hong Kong.
Yi Lu,Chinmoy Sarkar,Yang Xiao +2 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that walking behavior is at least as strongly affected by eye-level street greenery as by parks, and implicitly support the health benefits of urban greenspaces via walking and physical activity.
