Correction: Personality traits can predict which exercise intensities we enjoy most, and the magnitude of stress reduction experienced following a training programme * Correspondence: f.ronca@ucl.ac.uk Keywords: same as original article Correction on: full citation of the original version of the article. Error in author list In the published article, there was an error in the author list, and author Flaminia Ronca was erroneously not listed as the corresponding author. The corrected author list appears below. Flaminia Ronca*, Benjamin Tari, Cian Xu, Paul W. Burgess 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. Error in figure/table Wrong content There was a mistake in table [3] and table [4] as published. Both tables are missing the columns for estimates and confidence intervals. The corrected table [3 and 4] appears below. Table 3. Multiple linear regression output for each component of baseline physical fitness following backward elimination.

MISSING FIGURE Wrong content There was a mistake in the results section, where Figure 4 is missing. Figure 4 and related information are included below. Figure 4 should be cited in the following sentence at the end of the results section under “Intervention Outcomes”. "Furthermore, participants who scored high on neuroticism reported a greater decrease in stress after the intervention, F(1,49) = 9.94, p = 0.003, R2adj = 0.15 (Figure 4). Below is the caption for the figure, and the figure itself Figure 4. Relationship between neuroticism scores and changes in stress after the 8-week period. The prediction was significant in the intervention group only (R2 = .17, p = .003)
