When I saw the headline I thought it might be likely exercising hours everyday might be a symptom not a cause. … The authors suggest that people doing extreme amounts of exercise might have obsessive characteristics which could place them at greater risk of poor mental health. it is still somewhat unclear whether inactivity is a symptom of or contributor to poor mental health. The authors of the new research note that their study cannot confirm cause and effect.
