Familiarisation
Prior to their first attendance to the laboratory, participants received an information pack outlining the study design, testing protocols, measurement procedures and participants instructions for each of the possible study groups. At the start of the first laboratory session, participants were informed of the group to which they were randomly allocated, and the relevant study protocols, measurements, and requirements were explained to them verbally. As part of this explanation, participants were shown the equipment that would be used and, if relevant, were given a demonstration of the correct wall squat technique. Participants were encouraged to ask questions throughout the familiarisation to ensure that all testing procedures were fully understood before providing informed consent.
