In the published paper [1], there are some details that need to be corrected:
In Section 2.1, paragraph 1, the eligibility criteria originally described participants as “physically active (≥3 h of exercise training/week).” Since this study specifically involved trained athletes, it was changed to “trained athletes” to better reflect the actual sample. Similarly, the “physically active individuals” in the Conclusions section also needs to be modified to “trained individuals”. Accordingly, in the recruitment flow (Figure 1), there was a mistake in Figure 1 as published in the original version. The statement of “Physically active men” needs to be updated to “trained males”. The corrected Figure 1 appears below.
In Section 2.3.1, paragraph 1, the fatigue index (FI) for the 5mSRT should be divided by 2.
Previous formula: Fatigue index (FI) (%) = [((Shuttle 1 + Shuttle 2) − (Shuttle 5 + Shuttle 6))/(Shuttle 1 + Shuttle 2)] × 100.
The correct version:
Fatigue index (FI) (%) = {[((Shuttle 1 + Shuttle 2)/2) − ((Shuttle 5 + Shuttle 6)/2)]/((Shuttle 1 + Shuttle 2)/2)} × 100
In the section on Physical and Physiological Parameters (In Section 3.2, paragraph 1), the reported value Z = −2824 was a typographical mistake. The correct value is Z = −2.824.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
