1. Error in Figure/Table

First, in the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The data in Table 1 were wrong and the group name was wrongly marked; SBE-5X should be changed to SBE-4X. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
Second, in the original publication, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. There was a unit error for ALB and TP and the group name was wrongly marked; SBE-5X should be changed to SBE-4X. The corrected Table 2 appears below.
Third, in the original publication, there was a mistake in Table 3 as published. The group name was wrongly marked; SBE-5X should be changed to SBE-4X. The corrected Table 3 appears below.
Fourth, in the original publication, there was a mistake in Figure 4 as published. The group name was wrongly marked, SBE-5X should be changed to SBE-4X. The corrected Figure 4 appears below.

2. Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication. The group name was wrongly marked; SBE-5X should be changed to SBE-4X.
A correction has been made to Section 2; Results Section 2.3. Effect of SBE Supplementation on Fatigue-Related Biochemical Indicators after the 10-min Swim Test or a 90-min Swim Test and a 60-min Rest, Paragraphs 1 and 2:
We also evaluated the NH3 and BUN concentration after the 10-min swim test. As shown in Figure 2A, the NH3 levels in the vehicle, isocaloric, SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were 167 ± 18, 144 ± 19, 145 ± 17, 133 ± 18, and 148 ± 17 (umol/L), respectively. The SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were significantly lower than the vehicle group, i.e., by 13.11% (p = 0.0089), 20.42% (p = 0.0001), and 11.38% (p = 0.0221), respectively, but no dose-dependent trend was observed.
We measured the serum BUN level after the 90-min swim test followed by 60 min of rest. As shown in Figure 2B, the BUN levels in the SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were 46.5 ± 1.8, 46.5 ± 2.0, 38.5 ± 2.2, 35.5 ± 2.2, and 34.8 ± 1.5 (mg/dL), respectively. Compared with the vehicle group, the SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were significantly lower by 17.26% (p < 0.0001), 23.78% (p < 0.0001), and 25.22% (p < 0.0001), respectively. In addition, they were significantly lower than the isocaloric group by 17.27% (p < 0.0001), 23.79% (p < 0.0001), and 25.23% (p < 0.0001), respectively. For the trend analysis, serum BUN levels after the 90-min swim test followed by 60 min of rest had decreased dose-dependently with SBE supplementation (p < 0.0001).
In addition, a correction has been made to Section 2; Results Section, 2.4. Effect of SBE Supplementation on Liver and Muscle Glycogen Contents, Paragraphs 1 and 2:
The liver glycogen content in the vehicle, isocaloric, SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were 15.87 ± 0.93, 15.69 ± 1.24, 20.76 ± 3.65, 23.24 ± 1.98, and 23.97 ± 0.51 (mg/g liver), respectively. The SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were significantly greater than the vehicle group by 1.31-fold (p < 0.0001), 1.46-fold (p < 0.0001) and 1.51-fold (p < 0.0001), respectively, and also were significantly greater than the isocaloric group by 1.32-fold (p < 0.0001), 1.48-fold (p < 0.0001) and 1.53-fold (p < 0.0001), respectively (Figure 3A).
The muscle glycogen content in the vehicle, isocaloric, SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were 1.35 ± 0.08, 1.36 ± 0.07, 1.57 ± 0.08, 1.67 ± 0.05, and 1.73 ± 0.06 (mg/g muscle), respectively. The SBE-1X, SBE-2X, and SBE-4X groups were significantly greater than the vehicle group by 1.16-fold (p < 0.0001), 1.24-fold (p < 0.0001) and 1.28-fold (p < 0.0001), respectively, and were also significantly greater than the isocaloric group by 1.15-fold (p < 0.0001), 1.22-fold (p < 0.0001) and 1.26-fold (p < 0.0001), respectively (Figure 3A).
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 1. Effects of SBE supplementation on serum levels of lactate after the 10 min swim test. The lactate production rate (B/A) was the value of the lactate level after exercise (B) divided by that before exercise (A). The clearance rate (B − C)/B was defined as the lactate level after swimming (B) minus that after 20 min of rest (C) divided by that after swimming (B). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 10 mice per group). Values in the same row with different superscript letters (a, b, c, d) differ significantly between groups, p < 0.05.
