In my view an active live is a symptom of good health.
And a reduced life, a symptom of reduced health.
Is there any evidence that pushing people to artificially display symptoms of good health, improves the underlying poor health?
Certainly not when I try do normal stuff without regard to my condition.
Nor when an alcoholic tries to drink socially without regard for his alcoholism.
Nor when a diabetic tries to eat as normal people do without taking insulin.
The list could go on.
So why push exercise (a symptom of good health) on those with reduced stamina (or any poor health)? Is that not just like asking a diabetic to ignore his dietary needs, or asking an alcoholic to ignore his alcoholism?
