From the Paper:

"The significance of this study centers on the capability of exercise to go beyond its scope--that, on the event that an individual is involved with a physical activity, it is inevitable that other parts of the body will also be exercised and benefit from it. Tanaka's study provided only one case of how exercise influences the body's health holistically; but this case already established the usefulness of exercise in helping develop a holistically fit physical body form.
While it is important to exercise in order to maintain a physically fit body, a more important objective in exercising is that it is the cheapest and most manageable way to prevent being afflicted with illnesses or diseases, such as cancer, heart diseases, organ ailments, among others. These afflictions mostly develop from an inactive lifestyle, devoid of any physical activities or body-benefitting physical activities, in addition to improper diet."
