Cluster sampling
computer software, Blinding description: Blinding in this study involves making sure that the evaluators who measure outcome
variables (upper limb strength, muscle bulk and bowling speed) are uninformed of which
participants are in which intervention cluster groups. Participants will also be blinded in
a sense that they will not be aware of other cluster group. This double-blinded strategy
helps to avoid measurement bias.</study_design>
