Our protocol was designed to minimize blood pressure measurement variability across all 12 teams. A validated automated blood pressure measurement device chosen by the authors was used by all teams. As noted in the study methodology, potential cuff size errors that can contribute to measurement inaccuracy were addressed by having researchers measure each player's biceps circumference and assign the appropriate cuff size per the manufacturer's instructions.
