Glad the other commenter pointed out the correlation can causation aspect. Personally and anecdotally, I remember being in the DEPTHS of a depression, taking every ounce of what I had to drag myself to the doctor, jsut for the doctor to tell me I just need a half hour of vigorous exercise a day and I’ll be fine. Lady, I don’t want to live let alone get out of bed. In what world do you think I’m going to get a vigorous anything in.
And following up on that. Though this study may be new, this relationship is not and is well known.
I almost went to see a doctor in early 2020 (cue but then the funniest thing happened). Lots of issues/complexity there too esp. carless in a lower density USA, guess I'll wait until there are autodocs or doctor worms or something that doesn't need forms/questions/multiple visits/uncertainty etc.
Last year I got the cheapest+lightest ebike with gears that I could find. I went 131 miles on the trail (that's with 250w assist, usually PAS 1 or 2) until the trail shut down a few months after I got it (as mentioned elsewhere). I had noticed some effect even by mile 100 (easier riding mostly, anything else is too nebulous to judge), but being so long without activity and I probably lost all benefit and then some.
