Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders Minor musculoskeletal strain	12.5% 1/8 • Number of events 1 • Data on adverse events was collected for the duration of the study which ran from September 2014 to January 2015. Persons were assessed at the beginning and end of every training session for the entire duration of the study's intervention, approximately six weeks per participant. Participants were advised that they could report any adverse events at any point during the research process. At the beginning and end of every training session participants were asked to indicate if they had any aches, pains or injuries. They were asked to indicate all problems even if they did not think it was related to the training programme.	28.6% 2/7 • Number of events 2 • Data on adverse events was collected for the duration of the study which ran from September 2014 to January 2015.
