Cover Story: Physical inactivity is a well-known risk factor for a vast array of human pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, heart failure, osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes, mental health disorders, and migraine, and is also associated with an enhanced risk of developing unfavorable progression of COVID-19. We provide here updated evidence that physical inactivity highly impacts the risk of developing ischemic heart disease and related disabilities, which contribute to a high burden of clinical, social, and economic consequences as well as creating a deleterious loop which ultimately culminates in a further reduction in physical activity. Reinforcing current policies aimed at increasing physical activity engagement within the general population is hence vital. View this paper
