Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction The current teaching of athletes focuses mainly on gaining their skills, often neglecting the beneficial impacts of relaxation on the overall physical quality of its students. Therefore, clarifying the relationship between muscle relaxation training and athletic performance is important. Objective Explore the effect of relaxation training on running athletes’ technical and muscular levels. Methods A comparative experiment was conducted on 40 male and female runners, randomly divided into two groups. Before training, the athletes in the experimental group received relaxation training through the breath regulation method, muscle relaxation method, and independent training method, with 60 minutes in each session, for 6 months. Results Based on the assumption that there was no significant difference in the initial physical indices, the athletes in the experimental group performed better in 100m, 200m, and 300m than those in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Adequate relaxation training positively affects athletes’ muscular endurance and technical level. Therefore, an adequate increase in relaxation training is shown to be conducive in improving the overall physical quality and competitive level of athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
