TL;DR: The data support that excess fat increases the risk of incident asthma among adults, and this risk might be attenuated by higher fitness, and physical fitness enhancement in overfat people may reduce risk of event asthma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential cardiovascular complications of exercise, their pathological substrate, and their incidence are discussed and strategies to reduce these complications are suggested, but no strategies have been adequately studied to evaluate their ability to reduce exercise-related acute cardiovascular events.
Construct Validity Evidence for Single-Response Items to Estimate Physical Activity Levels in Large Sample Studies.
TL;DR: The single-response items demonstrated evidence of construct validity and may provide feasible, cost-effective, and efficient methods to assess physical activity in large-scale studies.
Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Incident Glaucoma.
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that meeting physical activity guidelines or being fit reduces the risk of developing glaucoma and being in the high fitness category was associated with the lowest risk for developing glAUcoma.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease self-management activation research trial (COPD-SMART): design and methods.
Jamile Ashmore,Rennie Russo,Jennifer Peoples,John Sloan,Bradford E. Jackson,Sejong Bae,Karan P. Singh,Steven N. Blair,David B. Coultas +8 more
TL;DR: A theory driven self-management lifestyle physical activity intervention is designed to reach patients unable to complete center-based pulmonary rehabilitation to improve physical functioning and dyspnea.
