To be clear, the study actually does not show any statistically significant effect of exercise on mortality rate compared to the control group (it shows an improvement, it's just not statistically significant).
The verbatim conclusion they present is:
"This study suggests that combined MICT and HIIT has no effect on all cause mortality compared with recommended physical activity levels. However, we observed a lower all cause mortality trend after HIIT compared with controls and MICT."

- zachm0 6y agoYep, from the article: "Control participants chose to perform more of their physical activity as HIIT than the physical activity undertaken by participants in the MICT group. This meant that the controls achieved an exercise dose at an intensity between the MICT and HIIT groups."
