Oral consumption of electrokinetically modified water attenuates muscle damage and improves postexercise recovery. J Appl Physiol (1985) 114: 1736–1742, 2013; doi:. Recently it was brought to our attention that inconsistencies were present with the randomization coding for subjects between data spreadsheets. The company that sponsored the study (Revalesio, Inc., Tacoma, WA) was in the process of archiving the data and noticed that the randomization coding for 8 of the subjects was not consistent with the other data spreadsheets. They immediately contacted us to inquire about the inconsistency. After the randomization coding inconsistencies were identified by us and corrected, the data were reanalyzed. We found that upon reanalysis the results were different than originally calculated. The outcome measure “Relaxed elbow angle or RANG” (Fig. 2) was found to be not significantly different from placebo at either 48-h or 96-h postexercise in contrast to what was originally published. In addition, as a result of the reanalysis for the outcome measure “Pain with elbow extension” (Fig. 3), we found that the between-group difference was still significant at 48-h postexercise (37.6 ± 19.03 vs. 27.0 ± 9.5; P = 0.032); however, it was not significantly different at 96-h postexercise in contrast to what was originally published. All other results were unaffected by the coding error because they applied only to these two outcome measures. Accordingly, while the wording of the original published conclusion is not incorrect, the totality of evidence for the effects of the modified water is not as strong as presented in the published article. The error in coding for the two outcomes was completely accidental, and we apologize for the error and any problems it posed for the journal. Revised versions of Figs. 2 and 3 with legends are included with the redaction.Fig. 2.There were no significant between-group differences in relaxed elbow angle (RANG) at any time point during the postexercise recovery period (F1,38 = 0.12; P = 0.73). Subjects who consumed the EMW had similar deficits in range of motion (ROM) at 48-h postexercise and 96-h postexercise than subjects who consumed unprocessed water (PLA). Values are reported as means ± SE.Download figureDownload PowerPointFig. 3.Result: There was a significant between-group difference for pain with elbow extension at 48-h postexercise (F1,38 = 4.93; P = 0.032). Subjects who consumed the EMW reported significantly less pain with active elbow extension at 48-h postexercise (P < 0.05) than subjects who consumed unprocessed water (PLA).
