The study involves:

• Testing involves strength test, reaction task and nerve and brain stimulations.
• There will be one familiarisation visit (2 hours), one pre-test (3 hours) visit and followed by one post-test visit 4 weeks after the pre-test session (3 hours) in this study.

You will be randomised for training or a control group:

• There is no training for the control group.
• For the intervention group, the training is quite simple as you will train your dominant arm 4x/week for 4 weeks, with each session usually taking about 20-25 minutes.
