Physical exercise decreases human lifespan
Extensive scientific evidence refutes the claim that physical exercise decreases lifespan, consistently showing instead that regular physical activity reduces the risk of early mortality and chronic disease.
The claim that physical exercise decreases human lifespan is directly contradicted by the retrieved literature, which uniformly establishes that physical activity reduces all-cause mortality, protects against chronic diseases, and improves health-related quality of life. There are no supporting papers.
