In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. Several rows were misaligned: towards the lower part of the table (from the ‘SJ impulse (Ns)’ row to ‘SJ v_take-off (m/s)’ row), some values are displayed one row below their intended position. We have also updated the decimals in values to provide greater details (from below the ‘CMJ v_take-off (m/s)’ row). The corrected Table 2 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Table 2. Descriptive analysis of the dancers across three menstrual cycle phases (average ± standard deviation). Note that there are no statistically significant differences in raw data.
