Notes: ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient, CI = confidence interval, kcal = kilocalories, ECG = electrocardiography, bpm = beats per minute, SD = standard deviation, avg = average. Correlations r/Rho are Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) except where indicated by * where they are Spearman rank correlation coefficients (Rho) due to non-normally distributed data.
† Where Bland-Altman parameters were systematically biased (mean difference/limits of agreement), values are presented as linear equations rather than point estimates.
