The Football League has supported the decision to allow Wycombe's players to wear tracking devices against Plymouth last Saturday.
Kick-off was delayed at Adams Park for six minutes after Pilgrims manager Derek Adams voiced concerns over the safety of the trackers.
Wycombe officials were forced to provide referee Tim Robinson with paperwork from the Football League authorising their use.
Adams criticised the decision after the match and later said that he believed the devices could pose a serious safety hazard for players.
"It's a hard object and a dangerous bit of equipment if somebody goes into the back of another player to head the ball," Adams said.
"I noticed in the tunnel and alerted the referee. I don't think it should be allowed. I'm not sure what the ruling is but someone could head it, it could get pulled or somebody could even get choked."
In a statement on Wycombe's website, A Football League spokesman revealed that a number of other clubs had also requested to use the devices this season.
"Following FIFA's decision to permit players to wear Electronic Performance and Tracking System devices under the laws of the game, the Football League has also sanctioned their use in its competitions," read the statement.
"Clubs were notified of this rule change in writing before the start of the current season and the matter was explained to club managers at their annual pre-season meetings.
"Any club seeking to use EPTS devices is required to notify the League and provide relevant details relating to how they will be worn and used. To date, 19 clubs, including Wycombe Wanderers, have registered their intention to use these devices."
First-half goals from Reuben Reid and Jake Jervis secured a 2-1 victory for Plymouth, who leapfrogged Wycombe into second place in the table, while ending their unbeaten start to the season.
