The authors wish to make the following correction to this paper [1]:
In the original article, there was a mistake in the method used for heart rate analysis. The correct fragment appears below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.
Text Correction
On page 6, the last paragraph of 2.4. Hand-Leading Test:
The variables were analysed using Kubios HRV (version 2.1., Kuopio, Finland) software [22], as was described by Tarvainen et al. [23]. For artefact correction in RR (the interval between successive heart beats) analysis, the custom filter of the program was set at the maximal level.
should be revised to:
The variables were analysed using Polar ProTrainer5 software. No filter level was applied since clear, almost artefact-free RR curves were recorded (in three files the % of artefacts were 0.4%; 0.7%; 1.3%) [22,23].
