Abstract

Physical activity has established itself as a major risk factor for many chronic diseases. Individuals who lead a sedentary life have higher morbidity and mortality. Exercise, a subcategory of physical activity, is usually planned and structured involving large muscle groups. It is a major recommendation from all professional health associations to prevent and beneficially modulate the course of several chronic diseases. There are also emotional benefits and exercising individuals experience a better quality of life. This manuscript discusses the beneficial effects of exercise on five major non-communicable diseases, namely cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, obesity, depression, and liver diseases.
