Core Tip	This review describes the benefits of physical activity in primary and secondary prevention of cardio-vascular disease. Physical inactivity is related to high blood cholesterol and accumulation of visceral fat, accompanied by low-grade vascular inflammation, which in turn is associated with insulin resistance and atherosclerosis leading to the development of coronary artery disease. In contrast, physical activity decreases vascular inflammation, and improves endothelial function and coronary circulation, preventing myocardial ischemia. Health professionals and policy makers in public health should align strategies to increase participation in physical activity.
