Study hypothesis 1 - There will be significant differences between the treatment and the control arms' mean recovery time (days). Study hypothesis 2 - The ST-restricted \& exercise treatment arm will have a significantly shorter mean recovery time (days) compared with the other treatment arms and control arm.
