Like many other studies, it also shows that too much exercise may be harmful, actually increasing the risk of mortality. While correlation does not imply causation, there is plenty of evidence for physical fitness and physical activity to reduce impacts of aging related to immune function. Alternative explanations revolve around the tendency of more robust individuals to conduct more exercise, while also tending to be more resilient independently of the effects of exercise.
