Lay summary
We will examine to what extent physical activity and muscular strength contribute to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular, cancer and other common chronic conditions when accounting for genetic predisposition. To date, most of scientific research has observed strong inverse associations, but recent research has suggested that these might be of lesser extent that commonly expected. Our research will provide more accurate and updated insights on this topic.
