I haven't looked at this study in particular but something I've noticed is common with many exercise studies is they test sedentary subjects over a fairly short time period. Interval training emerges at the top every time and seems attractive because it is short/intense. But the few studies that I've seen that examine aerobic exercise (aka, what everyone did before mechanical engines) show it is foundational to good health. Combined with interval training, it most closely matches how humans have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. What isn't good for us is chronic cardio (racing everywhere).
