RELAXATION TRAINING EFFECTS ON THE MUSCULAR AND TECHNICAL LEVEL OF ATHLETES

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.

摘要
引言 当前运动员的教学工作主要聚焦于技能传授，往往忽视了放松训练对受训者整体身体素质的积极作用。因此，明确肌肉放松训练与运动表现之间的关联至关重要。
目的 探讨放松训练对跑步运动员技术水平与肌肉状态的影响。
方法 选取40名男女跑步运动员开展对照实验，将其随机分为两组。实验组运动员在常规训练前，通过呼吸调节法、肌肉放松法及自主训练法进行放松训练，每次训练时长60分钟，持续周期为6个月。
结果 在初始身体指标无显著差异的前提下，实验组运动员在100米、200米及300米项目中的表现均优于对照组，两组间差异具有统计学意义（P < 0.05）。
结论 足量的放松训练对运动员的肌肉耐力与技术水平具有正向影响。由此可见，适当增加放松训练的占比，有助于提升运动员的整体身体素质与竞技水平。
