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:

Influence of Pok\'emon Go on Physical Activity: Study and Implications
TL;DR: Mobile apps combining game play with physical activity lead to substantial short-term activity increases and, in contrast to many existing interventions and mobile health apps, have the potential to reach activity-poor populations.

The "Goldilocks Zone" from a redox perspective - Adaptive vs. deleterious responses to oxidative stress in striated muscle
TL;DR: An overview of major types of ROS in striated muscle and the divergent adaptations that occur in response to them is provided, with particular focus on the mitochondria, and the Diverging roles that ROS play in muscle health and disease.

TL;DR: Being physically active throughout adulthood was associated with smaller decline in physical performance as well as with lower risk of incident mobility disability and premature death compared with those who had been less active during their adult life.

TL;DR: A short-term reduction in physical activity with increased sedentary behaviour leads to a reversible reduction in multi-organ insulin sensitivity and cardiorespiratory fitness, with concomitant increases in central and liver fat and dyslipidaemia.

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.
