      Citation Excerpt :

      It is well known that regular physical activity (PA) contributes to reducing the risk of developing chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD).1,2 The seminal studies of Dr. Jeremy Morris and Dr. Ralph Paffenbarger were the first to document the link between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), occupational physical activity (OPA) and morbidity/mortality.3–9 Subsequently, a number of studies have also shown that a physically active lifestyle is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality from CVD, type 2 diabetes and many other chronic diseases.1,10
