^*p < 0.001;

^†p ≤ 0.003 is the significant α level in the context of the Bonferroni correction for all possible pairwise comparisons between methods (p = 0.05/15).

^‡All ICC values are significant at the level of p < 0.001; Δ = Difference; (+) = Number of participants who increased their R-MISS measurements; (=) = Number of participants who had no change in their R-MISS measurement; B3T = The Best of 3 Trials Method; B4T = The Best of 4 Trials Method; B5T = The Best of 5 Trials Method; B6T = The Best of 6 Trials Method; B7T = The Best of 7 Trials Method; B8T = The Best of 8 Trials Method Increment; CI = Confidence Interval; CV = Coefficient of Variation calculated on the basis of log-transformed data; ES = Effect Size; ICC = Intraclass Correlation Coefficient calculated on the basis of log-transformed data; LoA = Limit of Agreement; R-MISS = Relative Maximal Isometric Squat Strength
