Anybody got the full text? It's a cross-sectional study, which means they're data-mining for correlation (and the title of the study says as much). From what I can glean it looks like the finding that team sports are better for morale than solo sports (shocker!) is every bit as useful as the finding that people with obsessive exercise routines have poor mental health (shocker II!).

Thanks. I don't know what your read is but to me, what the study actually says is that people who don't take off at least a couple days a month from exercise tend to have a higher stress burden than people who do, and people who exercise at least once a week have a lower stress burden than people who don't. I wouldn't call that a surprising result.
