In the published article "McAuley E, Mihalko SL. Advances in sport and exercise psychology measurement: measuring exercise-related self-efficacy. Fitness Information Technology: Morgantown, WV, 1998" was not listed as a citation in the article.Additionally, the citation "Bandura A. Self-efficacy: The exercise of control. Times Books, 1997" was not cited in the correct section of the article. Both citations have now been inserted within Methods under the heading Measures, specifically under sub-heading Self-efficacy, Paragraph # 7 within the Methods section and should read as citation #11 and #19 within the reference section of the corrected article: "Self-efficacy was assessed using the Resistance Training Self-Efficacy scale (RT-SE) (Bandura, 1997;McAuley & Mihalko, 1998) to assess participants' beliefs related to mastery experiences, physical capability, and resilience. The RT-SE scale considers a wider range of factors related to overall self-efficacy in resistance training, including exercise-specific confidence, belief in program adherence, managing fatigue, progressing in exercises, and overcoming barriers."The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.In the published article, the reference for " Jones et al. (2016). The development and preliminary validation of a resistance training self-efficacy scale. J. Strength Cond. Res. 30, 779-788." was incorrectly included in the published article. This incorrect reference can be found within the currently published article in the Methods section under the heading Measures, specifically under sub-heading Self-efficacy, also identified as paragraph # 7 within the Methods section. The correct reference should be "McAuley E, Mihalko SL. Advances in sport and exercise psychology measurement: measuring exercise-related self-efficacy. Fitness Information Technology: Morgantown, WV, 1998" and "Bandura A. Self-efficacy: The exercise of control. Times Books, 1997".The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
