Read it. And to dismiss that there is those who read it and decrease their activity is a bad take as well.

What are you basing that on? What argument do you have besides your own opinion that there are people out there who are going to stop working out or do less because of this article? The article is really clear on what it's about and it's also extremely clear that exercise, even low amounts, have large health benefits. I won't say it's impossible that someone might think they should reduce or eliminate exercise after reading it, but I think it's highly unlikely and really don't see anything in that article that supports what you're trying to say. Maybe there's something you can quote from the article that affirm your position?

And just the headline itself is basing the entire article around elite Olympic high performance athletes which is an incredibly small percentage of athletes and live a lifestyle that is abnormal to the rest of us.  And comparing what they do for training and lifestyle vs the rest of us age groupers isn't exactly great. 

The headline is a question; "Are Elite Athletes At Higher Risk Of Heart Problems & Premature Death?" The article goes on to examine that question. The article simply isn't about what you are making it out to be.
