Factor structure of the scale was explored with principal components analysis. Convergent validity was established with bivariate associations between selected correlates, total recovery, and subscales. A multiple linear regression model was used to explore the contributions of each predictor (e.g., fatigue) for total recovery. Models were age-adjusted, as applicable.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The final 17-item scale was highly consistent with four subscales, which we termed immune recovery, musculoskeletal injury recovery, physical recovery, and rehabilitation response. Total recovery and relevant correlates were related in the expected directions. In the combined model, eight predictors and age explained 39.6% of variance in total recovery. Sleep disruption, resilience, and age, independently contributed to total recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
