Among those with burn injuries, greater total body surface area (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u20130.007, p\u2009=\u20090.03) and third-degree burn percentage (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u20130.57, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) predicted lower overall fitness, while longer rehabilitation predicted higher fitness (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.50, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
