Erratum to: Haemodynamic responses to dehydration in the resting and exercising human leg

Abstract

In the originally published article systemic O2 delivery values reported in Fig. 3 are incorrect. The correct calculation for systemic O2 delivery (L min ) = arterial O2 content (mL L) * cardiac output (L min). The error in the manuscript was due to a miscalculation in the unit conversion from mL to L resulting in an erroneously high systemic O2 delivery across all conditions of dehydration/ rehydration and rest and exercise. Therefore, this error does not change the statistical results, the interpretation of the results nor the implication of the findings. The recalculations for each condition are as follows, control rest = 1.16 ± 0.06 L min, control exercise = 1.52 ± 0.07 L min, 2 % dehydration rest = 1.23 ± 0.03 L min, 2 % dehydration exercise = 1.58 ± 0.07 L min, 3.5 % dehydration rest = 1.37 ± 0.07 L min, 3.5 % dehydration exercise = 1.69 ± 0.06 L min, rehydration rest = 1.29 ± 0.04 L min, rehydration exercise = 1.58 ± 0.05 L min. Accordingly, the systemic O2 delivery panel from Fig. 3 has also changed.
