  • All assumed false-positives is the sum of off-camera and inactive assumed false-positives; off-camera assumed false-positives are shown in online supplemental table 1. Preparation and management are reported as mean and SD.

  • CCC, concordance correlation coefficient; FRI, Football Research Inc; LOA, limits of agreement; PPV, positive predictive value; SUS, System Usability Scale.
