In practice, the objective of sample size calculation is to select the minimum sample size in such a way that the desired power can be obtained for detection of a clinically meaningful difference at the prespecified significance level. Therefore, the selection of the sample size depends on the magnitude of the clinically meaningful difference, the desired power, the prespecified significance level, and the hypotheses of interest under the study of choice (e.g., a parallel design or a crossover design).
