Table 2. Interrater reliability and 95% limits of agreement between Raters 1 and 2 for total, single and contraction-phase specific time-under-tension.

Mean rater 1 seconds (±SD) Mean rater 2 seconds (±SD) Mean difference between raters, seconds (95% CI) Intraclass correlation (95% CI) 95% Limits of agreement (seconds) Agreement (percentage of mean TUT from stretch-sensor)
Total TUT (n=60) 49.28 (12.9) 49.50 (13.2) -0.23 (-0.53-0.08)** 1.00 (0.99-1.00) -2.11-2.56 4.7%
Single repetition TUT (n=600) 4.93 (2.11) 4.95 (2.14) -0.02 (-0.04-0.00)* 0.99 (0.99-0.99) -0.46-0.50 9.7%
Total concentric TUT (n=60) 17.66 (5.30) 18.06 (5.39) -0.40 (-0.52--0.28)* 0.99 (0.96-1.00) -1.32-0.51 5.2%
Total eccentric TUT (n=60) 29.02 (7.23) 28.87 (7.41)  0.15 (-0.15-0.45)** 0.99 (0.98-1.00) -2.40-2.10 7.7%
Concentric TUT (n=600) 1.77 (1.02) 1.81 (1.02) -0.04 (-0.05--0.03)* 0.99 (0.99-0.99) -0.28-0.10 13.6%
Eccentric TUT (n=600) 2.90 (1.43) 2.89 (1.43)  0.02 (0.00-0.03)** 0.99 (0.99-0.99) -0.41-0.44 14.5%
