It entirely depends on the form of "physical exercise".

Specific exercise has to be tested.

Start with full on wilderness adventures.

And require the participants to do their own navigation with compasses, bring their own flashlights, maintain their own water supplies [ and water purification].

And take their own precautions against ice slide outs and lightning.

And maybe even be obliged to do part care for the alpacas and goats.

This isn't a physical fitness activity then. It won't isolate the physical activity vs the mental activities of navigation and survival.

You could achieve the same goal with a gym next to an escape room.

This is not a form of specifically physical exercise that's going to be tested in a clinical trial. That's more whole experience that includes both physical, mental, and other potential benefits such as being able to nature. So I wouldn't call that approach based on physical activity

I'm not saying it wouldn't be beneficial. I'm saying it's out of scope for this kind of review. Typically the things reviewed include cardiovascular exercise programs on a gym, treadmill, or bike, or other sorts of activities like that. Things that can be done in the clinical setting.
