Long-term rehabilitation success depends on regular exercise and healthy nutrition. The present study introduces a new framework to explain this association on a psychosocial level. The exercise-nutrition relationship was investigated by exploring the sequential mediation of habit strength and transfer cognitions.
Analyses were performed at two measurement points in time (at 12 and 18 months after rehabilitation), involving 470 medical rehabilitation patients who participated in an exercise intervention.
Patients filled in paper-pencil questionnaires assessing exercise (t1) and habit strength, transfer cognitions and healthy nutrition at follow-up (t2).
Habit strength and transfer cognitions mediated the relationship between exercise and nutrition.
Findings suggest that habit strength and transfer cognitions are important factors underlying the relationship between exercise and nutrition.
长期康复的成功取决于有规律的运动和健康的营养。本研究介绍了一个新的框架，从社会心理层面解释这种关联。通过探讨习惯强度和转移认知的顺序中介作用，研究了运动-营养的关系。
在康复后 12 个月和 18 个月两个时间点进行分析，涉及 470 名参加运动干预的医疗康复患者。
患者填写纸质问卷，评估康复后 12 个月时的运动情况（t1）以及习惯强度、转移认知和健康营养情况（t2）。
习惯强度和转移认知中介了运动和营养之间的关系。
研究结果表明，习惯强度和转移认知是运动与营养之间关系的重要因素。
