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:

Face‐to‐face interventions for promoting physical activity
TL;DR: Evidence is found to support the effectiveness of face-to-face interventions for promoting PA, at least at 12 months, but the effectiveness was not supported by high quality studies and there was no evidence of an increased risk of adverse events.

TL;DR: Residents' perceptions of neighborhood attributes that facilitate walking were positively associated with objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous PA and meeting the guidelines for cancer/weight gain prevention at the within- and between-site levels.

Assessing the contribution of parks to physical activity using global positioning system and accelerometry.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe patterns of park use and physical activity among a diverse adult sample, using a global positioning system (GPS) monitor (Qstarz BT-Q1000X) and an ActiGraph accelerometer (GT1M) concurrently for 3 weeks.

Estimation of Physical Activity Energy Expenditure during Free-Living from Wrist Accelerometry in UK Adults.
TL;DR: A strong relationship exists between wrist acceleration and PAEE in free-living adults, such that irrespective of the objective method of PAEE assessment, a strong inverse association between PAEE and BMI was observed.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between physical activity and the strength of the immune system was conducted, which showed that a higher level of habitual physical activity is associated with a 31% risk reduction (hazard ratio 0.69, 95% CI 0.61-0.78, 6 studies, N.
