An interesting idea and conclusion. I had never considered that the body might have compensated exercise energy output by saving energy elsewhere! Good news for those like me using cycling and walking to keep fit and keep weight under control when possible.
Yes, exercise burns extra calories.
No, your body doesn't compensate and reduce energy expenditure in other areas

This paper briefly outlines the analogy between the mathematical tools used to model infectious diseases and for telephone network planning, both examples of the broader topic of Queueing Theory.
Mathematical methods for infection modelling Coronavirus
I used to do this kind of thing in my sleep, admittedly using different tools (Simscript and Fortran programming languages) to run event-based simulation models for a somewhat different purpose, but with very similar mathematics behind the computer codes. But it was all a long time ago! It’s gradually coming back. It's all part of a subject called Queuing Theory.

March 2025 review of my 2020 model calculations for an earlier UK lockdown
This post presents the two case number comparisons charts for the 9th March and 23rd March lockdown dates I had covered the death data in more detail in my previous post on this topic), and add that here too.
