Table 4.

Second-by-second reliability of heart rate obtained from three smart bras over various conditions (rest, warm up, run, walk, and over the entire period). Absolute reliability is represented as the coefficient of variation (CV), and test-retest reliability is presented as Intraclass correlations (ICC) with associated 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p-values.
