Endurance exercise is important for chronic disease management but is insufficient for global health as it does not significantly improve leg strength or other key mortality-predicting markers.

“It is extraordinarily clear that type of exercise is very important for chronic disease management, no doubt about it. However, it is not sufficient for overall global health because it does almost nothing for leg strength, for any other marker of health, which we can talk about, what are the things that are actually going to predict mortality, morbidity than most.”
