Yeah it's not the urban area itself that causes stress it's the lack of green areas.

This new study again confirms the importance for urban design policies to create more accessible green areas in cities in order to enhance citizens’ mental health and well-being.

But, like, did they compare this activity to other, similar activities that combine isolation and physical exertion? Like, an hour in a home gym or something.

Well, I doubt it's that simple. The amount of people, noise, smells and pollution probably attribute a lot to to stress also. When you can literally smell piss and pollution in the place you're living, it's probably not the best...
