I have not looked at the underlying study, but that article definitely does a terrible job of being clear on the caveats of the study. E.g. this nugget was left for the last paragraph of the article:
"Our exercise intervention was a simple home strength exercise program, which likely was not challenging enough in our unexpectedly active study population, where over 80% already engaged moderate to high intensity exercise," she said.
I would take anything from this study with a pinch of salt. I doubt if it was a well controlled study.
