The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Exercise is the real polypill. (2013, background): “This apparent paradox could be explained by the hormesis theory (54, 210, 392, 393): chemicals and toxic substances that are deleterious at high doses can have a low-dose beneficial effect.”
Acute exercise and oxidative stress: a 30 year history (2009, background): “This upregulation in antioxidant defense observed with regular exercise training would be expected to shift the redox balance in favor of more reducing conditions, thereby potentially explaining the pro-health/anti-pathological effects of exercise [16,313].”
