In the published article, there was an error in
“Substrate diversity (<3 substrates vs. ≥4 substrates)” should have read “Substrate diversity (≤3 substrates vs. ≥4 substrates)”. The corrected
Relative risk for training injury and competition injury in canine agility athletes.
| Age (< 6 years old vs. ≥6 years old) | 1.2558 | 0.1809 |
| Sex (female vs. male) | 0.9611 | 0.8111 |
| Concurrent sports (No vs. Yes) | 0.7989 | 0.1491 |
| Substrate diversity (≤ 3 substrates vs. ≥4 substrates) | 1.0593 | 0.8465 |
| History of training injury (No vs. Yes) | 2.2846 | 0.0005 |
| Age (< 6 years old vs. ≥6 years old) | 5.7935 | < 0.00001 |
| Sex (female vs. male) | 0.9904 | 1.0000 |
| Concurrent sports (No vs. Yes) | 1.0267 | 1.0000 |
| Substrate diversity (≤ 3 substrates vs. ≥4 substrates) | 1.1795 | 0.6362 |
Relative Risk (RR) was defined as the proportion of dogs with a history of injury that were positive for the parameter of interest, relative to the proportion of dogs with a history of injury that were negative for the parameter of interest. RR was calculated from 2 × 2 contingency tables.
The significance level was α = 0.05. The p-value was calculated using the Fisher's Exact Test.
In the published article, there were two errors in the main text.
A correction has been made to the section Results, Substrate diversity and modifications to substrate use based on performance, paragraph 1.
This sentence previously stated:
“When substrate diversity was divided into binary categories—dogs with less substrate diversity (<3 substrates in training regimen) vs. dogs with more substrate diversity (≥4 substrates in training regimen), there was no impact of substrate diversity on the Relative Risk of TI or CI (
The corrected sentence appears below:
“When substrate diversity was divided into binary categories—dogs with less substrate diversity (≤ 3 substrates in training regimen) vs. dogs with more substrate diversity (≥4 substrates in training regimen), there was no impact of substrate diversity on the Relative Risk of TI or CI (
A correction has been made to the section Discussion, paragraph 15.
This sentence previously stated:
“For example, 51.5% (141/274) of dogs with experience training on <3 substrates were reported to have at least one MDP on natural grass, while 81.8% (27/33) of dogs with experience on ≥4 substrates were reported to have at least one MDP on natural grass.”
