If I'm reading this correctly the study tested people's athletic ability at some point in time and tracked when they died.
The article conflates athletic ability and exercise. Sure a person that has great athletic ability would likely exercise a lot. But not necessarily and certainly not for the remainder of their life.
Good athletes might have good genes. Maybe over exercise actually hurts your fitness and you would scores lower on the initial fitness test. Either way, I don't think the study even remotely supports the claim purported by the article
