Is Active Recovery worth prioritizing?

Classic physiological studies establish that light active exercise clears blood lactate faster than complete rest, and a broader evidence-based review of post-exercise recovery techniques includes active recovery among modalities with some supporting data for reducing markers of fatigue. Weighing that against the numbers, Active Recovery is not a priority based on current data — the evidence is only emerging (15/100), and its estimated impact (10/100) is on the lower end too.
