  1. CI confidence interval, ICC intra class correlation coefficient, LOA limit of agreement, MDD minimal detectable difference, SEM standard error of measurement
  2. *Pooled from all repetitions;
  3. † Statistically significant bias (different from zero);
  4. Bold ICCs indicate acceptable reliability values.
