Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Resistance training with mirror illusion groupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The resistance training with mirror illusion group will perform unilateral resistance training on their dominant arm. During training, they will view a mirror illusion of their exercising arm over their opposite, non-exercising arm. The training will be performed twice per week for four weeks totaling eight training sessions.
Group II: Resistance training control groupActive Control1 Intervention
