RETRACTION: W.-C. Tseng, K. Nosaka, T.-Y. Chou, G. Howatson, and T.C. Chen, “Effects of Far-Infrared Radiation Lamp Therapy on Recovery from a Simulated Soccer-Match in Elite Female Soccer Players,” Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports 34, no. 4 (2024): e14615, https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.14615. The above article, published online on 31 March 2024 in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, José A. Calbet; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Multiple third parties notified the journal of concerns about the article. Following investigation, it was found that the participants did not provide informed consent prior to the study. Additionally, the time period of the study's ethics approval does not match the dates given for when the participants were players in the national division of the women's soccer league in Taiwan. The authors were able to share details of the study's informed consent procedure, but could not proof of the consent paperwork distributed to participants. Therefore, because of the apparent lack of informed consent, the parties have agreed that the article must be retracted.
