In that sentence, frequently can modify jog or develop. Thus, the modifier is ambiguous.

people who jog frequently....
or
.....frequently develop.


Hope this helps please share your thoughts if I made a mistake somewhere.

Ya you are right thts wat i feel

can we conclude that usually...

Verb - adverb-Verb AND
Noun - Adjective - Noun

kind of construction is incorrect coz it leaves lot of room for ambiguity...or if its not a rule at least we must be careful when we see such constructions...

right friends !!
