H-NMR geminal coupling constants influenced by bond angle

decreasing ring size (except C5 and C6) decreases C-C-C bond angle
increasing ring size (to an extent) also decreases C-C-C bond angle
but does the C-C-H and H-C-H bond angle increase?

a textbook says that as H-C-H bond angle increases from decreasing ring size the geminal coupling constant increases from -ive to +ive
is this correct about the trend in increasing/decreasing ring size increasing/decreasing ring strain increasing/decreasing which bond angle?
would someone be kind enough to confirm the trend?

Look up the Karplus equation, you may find something there

karplus equation relates the vicinal coupling constant to C-C-H angle but I want to know the influence of increasing/decreasing ring size on the H-C-H angle

in geminal coupling the textbook says the coupling constant is affected by the H-C-H angle and I asked about the influence of ring size on H-C-H angle
