Although these results are not exactly impressive or compelling (they don't make me want to change my exercise habits), it's reassuring to see researchers go through with publishing underwhelming results, rather than cherry-picking only the interesting results and sitting on the rest, which is a major contributing factor to the crisis of confidence/replication in the social sciences.
