Yes, I have found this same results with walking, 30 minutes every day will lower 10 points and 30 minutes twice every day will lower 20 points, so you don't have to run. All thes learned experts have given you various reasons for the results, personally I think it's due to inflating (stretching) the vascular system during exercise.
