Prior to publication of the original article [1], we have been notified that Table 2 formatting was incorrectly set up and ORCIDs were missing. Instead of a finalized document, a preliminary version had been published without authors approval with an unnecessary red line under Table 2 that should be removed. Authors should also have their ORCIDs assigned in this correction:

ME/CFS Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Mean values of sodium and water content with standard deviation (SD) in brackets. ∆ (%) is percentage of increase/decrease after exercise and after recovery period of 40 minutes. P value refers to comparison of baseline values with values directly after exercise and values directly after exercise with values after 40 minutes recovery, respectively
