I'd change it to:

1. Sleep- 51%

2. Meeting kcal and macro needs - 48%

3. Everything else- <1% (foam roll, yoga, stretch, massage, chiro, PT, etc.)

Not exaggerating re: 1%. Truly.

In fact, there have been inverse correlations found between time spent using recovery modalities and performance of athletes, in pretty tightly controlled elite athlete settings. Unpublished USOC data which I reviewed in graduate school... and which I no longer have access to. And of course it's possible that injured folks skewed data conclusions in favor of not using these other modalities. But, I don't think that was the case and was pretty well-convinced that the athletes who steered well clear of focusing ANY energy at all on the little things, and poured all their energy into the big 3 (training, sleep, fueling), performed the best, pretty convincingly.
