The disequilibrium principle suggests that if an individual has less opportunity for a preferred activity (in this case, physical exercise), then the opportunity to engage in that activity will become more reinforcing. This principle is based on the idea that people seek to maintain a balance or equilibrium of activities, and when that balance is disrupted (e.g., by studying and not exercising), restoring it becomes reinforcing.
