I feel like this is another clear case of correlation and not causation. If someone doesn’t exercise there is a higher chance they already have pre-existing conditions like injury or health complications that can lead to Covid causing more problems. While exercise could have helped I don’t think this actually means much.

Reply to Physical activity before COVID-19 infection is associated with less severe outcomes. In a study of 194,191 adults with COVID-19, those who were consistently inactive were 191% more likely to be hospitalized and 391% more likely to die than those who were consistently active. by glawgii
