1. Error in Table

In the original publication [1], there were values that were mistyped in Table 3 as published. For “Gymnastics”, the 95% CI for the variable of the “Mother’s employment status” being “Part-time” is “0.20–3.73”, not “0.20–0.85 *”. Similarly, the 95% CI for the variable of the “Mother’s educational background” being “Junior high school and high school” is “0.22–3.47”, not “0.22–0.84 *”. The corrected Table 3 appears below.

2. Text Correction

In accordance with the above corrections, there were errors in the original publication.

A correction has been made to Section 3, paragraph 4:

In terms of parental education, the odds of participation in swimming among children were lower with mothers reporting a junior high school or high school education (OR: 0.49), and ballet when mothers reported a junior college or vocational school education (OR: 0.07). On the other hand, the odds of participation in gymnastics were higher when fathers had a junior high school or high school education (OR: 5.16).

A correction has been made to Section 4, paragraph 8:

Participation in gymnastics in our sample was higher among children with fathers who were junior high school or high school graduates.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
