Correction to: Physiologic and mechanical responses to clustered vs. traditional sprint interval exercise approaches (European Journal of Applied Physiology, (2025), 125, 12, (3565-3578), 10.1007/s00421-025-05857-4)

In the original version of this article, author noticed a minor typo, in the second-to-last paragraph of the introduction section. The relevant sentence is: “Thus, dividing a 30-s work bout into 2 or 3 work bout clusters to provide recovery durations within sprints that allow for partial recovery of PCr while still maintaining a high cardiovascular strain might allow for greater PO values and % of V˙O2max or ≥V˙O2RCP responses to be observed.” In this sentence, the word “prove” should be “provide”. The horizontal line separating the header row between "SIE30" and "Cluster 1" is missing in Table 2.
