TL;DR
Leisure time physical activity was inversely associated with all-cause mortality in both men and women in all age groups, and benefit was found from moderate leisure timephysical activity, with further benefit from sports activity and bicycling as transportation.
Abstract
Leisure time physical activity was inversely associated with all-cause mortality in both men and women in all age groups. Benefit was found from moderate leisure time physical activity, with further benefit from sports activity and bicycling as transportation.

With or without consideration of hypertension, cigarette smoking, extremes or gains in body weight, or early parental death, alumni mortality rates were significantly lower among the physically active than among less active men.

These observations suggest that in CHD prevention programs, regular physical activity should be promoted as vigorously as blood pressure control, dietary modification to lower serum cholesterol, and smoking cessation.

Blood lipids, red cell volume, heart volume, dynamic spirometry, electrocardiograms made at rest and during exercise, and maximal oxygen uptake were determined in 29 former athletes 45 to 70 years old that had been very successful competitors in endurance events before the age of 30.

It is concluded that repeated bursts of high energy output established a plateau of protection against coronary mortality, and that several different mechanisms may explain this finding.

The lack of leisure time physical activity and a sedentary occupation are associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease death, and the excess risk is, in part, accounted for by other ischeic heart disease risk factors.

The lack of association between physical activity and mortality in women is attributed to inadequate assessment of activity, and this also is the likely explanation for the difference in results between women and men in published studies of physical Activity and mortality.

Multivariate analyses showed that the association between low educational level and incidence of angina pectoris was independent of socioeconomic group, smoking habits, systolic blood pressure, indices of obesity, serum triglycerides, and serum cholesterol, and low physical activity at work was an independent risk factor for overall mortality.

As mortality rates in the total samples including non-participants were markedly higher than among the participants, generalizations of results for participants to the whole population should be made with caution, especially during the first years of observation.
