This matters, because the genes chosen for study have increased expression for strenous exercise in healthy controls:
Initial experiments with normal subjects indicated that mRNA for [genes in this 2011 study] was upregulated at 8 and 24 hours after strenuous exercise. (from 2009 pilot study)
The next line of the quote says:
The mRNA increases returned to near normal levels 48 hours after strenuous exercise.38

Jensen BT, Fitschen KL: Molecular receptors for pH found
on sensory neurons are also found on mouse and human
leukocytes and increase 8-48 hours post-exercise in both
control subjects and fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.
