Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Medical clearance is necessary for prior to pre-intervention testing. The physician who is determining eligibility will not know which group the participant will be assigned to. However, allocation will not be concealed to the investigator.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation will be used through computerised sequence generation
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
