OBJECTIVE: 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. DESIGN: 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. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients filled in paper-pencil questionnaires assessing exercise (t1) and habit strength, transfer cognitions and healthy nutrition at follow-up (t2). RESULTS: Habit strength and transfer cognitions mediated the relationship between exercise and nutrition. CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that habit strength and transfer cognitions are important factors underlying the relationship between exercise and nutrition.
