| Cardiac Arrest Cardiopulmonary Arrest Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest | Other: Lifesaver virtual reality training Other: Face-to-face training | Not Applicable |
In order to optimize survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, basic life support (BLS) training of lay-person volunteers is essential. Face-to-face training has long been considered the standard, but new training-methods have emerged, of which the Lifesaver VR (developed by the UK Resuscitation Council) app seems promising. It is unknown which training method results in the highest quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Therefore, we conduct this randomized controlled trial in which subjects will be randomized to either one of the two training methods. Following the training, all participants will undergo CPR-quality testing using certified manikins and blinded assessors.
The present study will be conducted during Lowlands Science, a section of the Lowlands music festival exclusively dedicated to science. Lowlands will be held on August 16-18 of 2019 and over 50.000 attendees are expected.

Experimental: Lifesaver virtual reality (VR) training
Training using the Lifesaver VR application. Lifesaver VR is an interactive game that can be played on smartphones allowing users to 'resuscitate' a victim of cardiac arrest, while wearing VR-goggles showing a filmed CPR-scenario
|
Other: Lifesaver virtual reality training
CPR training using the Lifesaver virtual reality application
|
|
Active Comparator: Face-to-face training
A short face-to-face CPR training based on international guidelines provided by certified instructors
|
Other: Face-to-face training
Short face-to-face CPR training
