Maybe I'm reading this article wrong, but it seems that parts of it bolster my argument:"It's also possible that exercise's effect on mental health is an illusion, says the Harvard Mental Health Letter."
"Even controlled trials on the subject often have problems, such as insufficient follow-up, the difficulty of correcting for the effect of expectations, and the fact that people who volunteer for exercise studies are not necessarily typical."
