AnnotationThis German study investigated the interplay of exercise strategy use (i.e. strategies of selection, optimization, and compensation - SOC) and perceived loss of exercise resources in individuals prescribed to engage in physical exercise. Specifically, 368 individuals aged 18-80 were assessed during orthopaedic rehabilitation and 6 and 12 months thereafter. Exercise, orthopaedic outcome and subjective well-being served as indicators of successful development. There was no evidence for an interaction of age and strategy use, but rather for a mediating role of strategy use between resource loss and exercise. The effect of strategy use on orthopaedic outcome and subjective well-being was mediated by exercise. Strategy use seems to be beneficial for exercise, regardless of age. In addition, strategy use seems to enhance resources and is not only associated with exercise but also with orthopaedic outcome and subjective well-being. (RH).
