Amiable Dorsai:
It occurs to me that we do know about one physical activity--Quidditch.

Harry, who is quite fit, is physically exhausted at the end of one of
Oliver Wood's practice sessions, so it can be physically demanding. 

Do we ever hear about pick-up games, or is it only house team members
who are known to benefit from this?  Ron was able to use the pitch in
book 5, even though he wasn't a team member, so it seems that pick-up
games wouldn't be against the rules.
