Abstract:

In Exp. 1 the effects of progressive and imaginal relaxation training were examined for 51 psychiatric inpatients. Relaxation Inventory scores indicated significant changes in the direction of greater relaxation for each training procedure; there were no significant differences in responses to the two types of training. Significant relaxation effects were found for each of three training sessions, but the effects were not cumulative. Only one patient was withdrawn because reaction to training was overtly negative. Exp. 2 was an analysis of Exp. 1 data in combination with data from a prior study. Patients and college students responded much alike but students reached greater relaxation within sessions. Further experimentation on relaxation training with psychiatric inpatients appears justified.

Abstract:

The effects of instructions (paradoxical versus standard), treatment technique (EMG biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation and self-relaxation) and subjects' sex were investigated in a 2 by 3 by 2 between-subjects design. Dependent measures were the changes in EMG and skin temperature over one 40-min. training session for 72 volunteers. For EMG change, the main effect of training was significant, with muscle relaxation producing less reduction than other techniques. This finding reflected an increase in EMG in the 5-min. posttreatment interval for the muscle relaxation group. For temperature change, the interaction of instructions and sex was significant, indicating that paradoxical instructions produced greater increases in temperature than standard instructions for men but not for women.

Abstract:

The ability of self-prediction, self-motivation, a stress profile, and a state-trait personality measure to predict compliance with home-relaxation training was examined. Although several significant correlations were obtained between these dimensions and the practice of relaxation at home, only achievement orientation and self-motivation predicted adherence to the relaxation regimen for 27 college students.

Abstract:

24 patients with chronic low back pain were randomly assigned to three treatment conditions: (a) EMG biofeedback, (b) relaxation training, and (c) a placebo condition. Patients were seen for eight sessions and were evaluated before Session 1 and after Session 8. Eight analyses of covariance which were adjusted for age and pretest scores were computed on the final scores to find which variables could detect significant difference between treatments. Age was included as a covariate because the differences in age between conditions were significant. Four variables with significant and nearly significant differences were chosen for analysis. The second set of analyses identified the nature of the differences among the three conditions. These included a priori planned comparisons among conditions, and paired t tests. Relaxation-trained subjects were significantly superior to subjects in the placebo condition, in decreasing pain during the function test, increasing relaxation, and decreasing Upper Trapezius EMG. They were superior to EMG Biofeedback training in increasing reported activity. Both Relaxation and EMG trained subjects were able to reduce Upper Trapezius EMG by Session 8 Relaxation-trained subjects showed significant change on eight of the 14 possible comparisons for each treatment condition. EMG biofeedback training showed significant favorable results in only one condition; the placebo condition showed no significant results. Relaxation training gave better results in reducing EMG and pain, and in increasing relaxation and activity than either EMG biofeedback alone or a placebo condition.

Abstract:

The sprint is an extreme speedy sport of high strength lack of oxygen metabolism. While athletes are improving sprint speed, they often ignore the importance of relaxing, which is one of the factors to enhance their performance. This article, from the perspective of exercise physiology, the principle of energy metabolism and muscle area, describes the influence of relaxation and relaxation training on sprint performance. At the same time, it expresses individual opinion on how athletes achieve relaxation in the state and the training methods and so on, for reference.

Abstract:

This paper describes and compares two relaxation training procedures with moderately and severely mentally handicapped people. Abbreviated Progressive Relaxation is a widely used procedure while Behavioural Relaxation Training is a relatively recent development which the authors felt might be more suitable for mentally handicapped people since it does not require a conceptual awareness of internal states of anxiety. While both relaxation procedures produced improvements, Behavioural Relaxation Training was significantly better than Abbreviated Progressive Relaxation. In addition to this the results during treatment showed Abbreviated Progressive Relaxation to produce very variable effects from session to session. In contrast the effects of Behavioural Relaxation Training were quick and consistent.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to compare acupuncture, relaxation training and physical training in the treatment of chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). The study comprised 90 consecutive patients with CTTH who were randomly allocated to acupuncture, relaxation training or physical training. Headache intensity, headache-free days and headache-free periods were registered using a visual analogue scale and a headache diary. The measurements were made 4 weeks before, immediately after, and 3 and 6 months after the treatment period. Immediately after the last treatment, the number of headache-free periods and of headache-free days was higher in the relaxation group compared with the acupuncture group. There were no other significant differences between the groups at any time point. The clinical implications of our findings are that relaxation training induced the most pronounced effects directly after the treatment period, compared with acupuncture and physical training.

Abstract:

This study explored the potential benefits of an eight-week relaxation training program for students in their final year of high school. The relaxation program was structured around the concept of applied relaxation, consisting of a blend of progressive muscle relaxation, cue-controlled, and rapid relaxation, whilst also incorporating a cognitive coping strategies component, and goal-directed visualisation. Treatment participants were compared with control group members on measures of anxiety, stress, and locus of control. Overall, the results support the efficacy of a school-based relaxation training program in reducing student stress and anxiety levels, but not on influencing locus of control orientation towards internality. Furthermore the results of this project indicate that it is possible to incorporate relaxation training within a preventative framework as part of the regular school curriculum.

Abstract:

Exposure to a rationale as a method to increase compliance with relaxation was tested on 52 subjects with stress-related problems. Subjects were randomly assigned to a rationale or no-rationale condition and were trained in progressive relaxation. Compliance during the subsequent week was measured by electronic tape-rewind counters, self-report, and objective and subjective ratings of performance 1 wk. later. Use of a rationale did not have a significant effect on compliance with relaxation. Although the subjects' self-reported practice and measures of proficiency were correlated, these measures were not significantly correlated with the rewind-counter measure of compliance. Research and clinical applications of these unexpected findings were discussed.

Abstract:

Progressive and imaginal relaxation-training procedures are difficult to compare because the latter takes many forms. In this study, an imaginal procedure was used that closely followed progressive operations except that muscle tension was imagined rather than experienced. The dependent variable was the total score on the Relaxation Inventory. College students were placed in groups ( ns = 50) high and low on suggestibility based on scores on the Creative Imagination Scale, assigned in equal numbers to the imaginal and progressive relaxation conditions and given four sessions of relaxation training The pre- and posttrials effects were significant within each of the four training sessions. There were no significant differences in reports of relaxation by the progressive and imaginal treatments. The expected cumulative effect of relaxation training across the four sessions was not found; in fact, the imaginal condition showed a significant decrease. The only significant suggestibility effect was an interaction between suggestibility and trials in which highly suggestible subjects reported less presession relaxation. These results are consistent with reports of no differences between progressive and imaginal relaxation training.

Abstract:

Research suggests that multiple forms of relaxation training (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, breathing exercises, visualization, and autogenics) can help individuals reduce stress, enhance relaxation states, and improve overall well-being. We examined three different, commonly used approaches to stress relaxation—progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, and guided imagery—and evaluated them in a head-to-head comparison against each other and a control condition. Sixty healthy undergraduate participants were randomized to one of the four conditions and completed 20 minutes of progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, or guided imagery training that was delivered by recorded audio instruction. Baseline and follow-up assessment of psychological relaxation states were completed. Physiological relaxation was also assessed continuously using measures of electrodermal activity and heart rate. Results showed that progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, and guided imagery all increased the state of relaxation for participants in those groups, compared to participants in the control group. In each case, the increase was statistically significant and although the groups did not differ on relaxation before training, all groups were significantly higher on relaxation after training, as compared to the control group. Progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery showed an immediate linear trend toward physiological relaxation, compared to the control group, and the deep breathing group showed an immediate increase in physiological arousal followed quickly by a return to initial levels. Our results lend support to the body of research showing that stress relaxation training can be effective in improving relaxation states at both the psychological and physiological level. Future research could examine stress relaxation techniques in a similar manner using designs where multiple techniques can be compared in the same samples.

Abstract:

To ascertain whether home practice was an important component of the relaxation treatment for anxiety, highly anxious undergraduates practiced relaxation at home, practiced it in a group, and were put on a waiting-list control. Subjects who practiced relaxation at home had significantly greater reductions in anxiety than those who only practiced it as part of a group. However, compliance with doing the relaxation exercises ( n = 27) was not significantly correlated with reduction of anxiety.

Abstract:

We tested the hypothesis that exercise training (Ex) attenuates the effects of hyperlipidemia on endothelial function by enhancing NO-mediated vasorelaxation in porcine brachial (Br) arteries. Adult female pigs were fed a normal-fat (NF) or high-fat (HF) diet for 20 wk. Four weeks after initiation of the diet, pigs underwent Ex or remained sedentary (Sed) for 16 wk. Relaxation to ACh was impaired by HF ( P = 0.03). The combination of HF and Sed impaired ACh-induced relaxation more than HF or Sed alone ( P = 0.0002). Relaxation to high doses of bradykinin (BK) was impaired by HF ( P = 0.0002). Ex significantly improved ACh-induced relaxation ( P = 0.01) and tended to improve relaxation to BK ( P = 0.38). To determine the mechanism(s) by which HF and Ex affected relaxation to ACh and BK, relaxation was assessed in the presence of N G-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; to inhibit NO synthase), indomethacin (Indo; to inhibit cyclooxygenase), or l-NAME + Indo. In the presence of l-NAME, Indo, or l-NAME + Indo, ACh-induced relaxation was no longer different between HF and NF arteries; however, relaxation remained greater in Ex than in Sed arteries. In the presence of l-NAME or Indo, BK-induced relaxation was no longer altered by HF but was enhanced by Ex. In the presence of l-NAME + Indo, BK-induced relaxation was enhanced by HF and Ex. These data indicate that hyperlipidemia impairs ACh- and BK-induced relaxation by impairing NO- and PGI2-mediated relaxation. Ex attenuates the effects of HF by enhancing a vasodilator mechanism independent of NO and PGI2.

This study was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test. Population of the study consisted of all male and female students of psychology and counselling and statistical sample consisted of 16 students (eight male and eight female) that were selected by voluntary sampling, and each of them were asked to subjectively rate their self-esteem in the field of relaxation which is scored from 0 to 100. The data were analysed using univariate analysis of covariance after the training sessions. The findings supported the effectiveness of relaxation training to increase self-esteem. So that relaxation training is to increase self-esteem in the students. In line with this, necessary actions were done about using this therapy method for improving the self-esteem in the students.

Abstract:

One of the difficulties in researching adherence to relaxation training is accurate self-monitoring. Here, a small form that fits into the case of the relaxation cassette tape is described that provides a convenient means of documenting practice, including whether the person practiced, if the practice was beneficial, and several specifics about the particular practice. A five-week trial with 36 undergraduate students indicated that it is a useful method for assessing adherence to relaxation training.

Abstract:

IntroductionIntensive professional training is widely used in modern organizations, as it helps employees adapt to dynamic work and technology changes (Noe, 2010; Patrick, 2000). Relaxation techniques may reduce the negative effects of intense learning processes (i.e. fatigue, anxiety and stress). They can also enhance the productivity of the training itself by helping to achieve optimal states for the completion of learning goals.ObjectivesOur study concerns differences in mastering relaxation techniques by employees of younger and middle-age groups during intensive professional training.MethodsSample - 62 employees, participants of communication training. The 15-min session of progressive relaxation combined with autogenic formulae was conducted after 5 hours of intensive training. Measures: standard psychological and physiological functional state tests (Leonova & Kapitsa, 2003); an information perception task.ResultsThe efficiency of the relaxation techniques varied between different age groups: younger participants (aged 20-30) were more successful in managing both tasks – learning new relaxation skills and achieving deeper rest (including more apparent positive physiological effects). They were also more prepared for completing the information perception task (they made less mistakes). Older participants (aged 30-50) experienced more difficulties with the new relaxation skills and used relaxation primarily to restore their psychophysiological resources, rather than to prepare for the upcoming training task.ConclusionsThe results showed that relaxation techniques provide a system optimization effect on the participants of intensive training programs, though participants’ individual differences (ie age, length of service) should be taken into account when planning the outcomes of such interventions.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Abstract:

RésuméPratiqué depuis les années 1950, le training autogène de Schultz (TAS) est la technique de relaxation la plus utilisée dans le monde, mais pas en France, à côté des techniques dérivées de la méthode de Jacobson. Ces deux méthodes ont une filiation importante…De nombreuses autres techniques de relaxation sont apparues et la pratique de la relaxation dans le cadre d’autres soins est en pleine expansion : kinésithérapie, thérapies comportementales et cognitives, thérapies brèves… Les relaxations sont de plus en particulier utilisées en urgence, en victimologie… Bref, l’idée semble acceptée aujourd’hui, d’une société « stressée » dont la relaxation est une réponse (non un soin). Il semble que les psychothérapeutes relaxateurs aient oublié de dire le potentiel contenu dans ces méthodes.Nous proposons de réfléchir au cours de ce forum à quelques aspects de la modernité de la relaxation psychothérapique par exemple comme outil motivationnel en addictologie, comme élément de désamorçage de la souffrance au travail ou comme outil de thérapie familiale…

Abstract Background:Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation training on blood sugar, choleterol and uric acid levels in the elderly in Medan Sunggal sub-district.Methods: This study was an experimental study with one group by examining blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid levels before and after progressive muscle relaxation training. The research respondents were 39 elderly people in environmental areas II and III of Medan Sunggal sub-district. Blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid levels were measured before the first session and after the end of the progressive muscle relaxation training session three times a week for 4 weeks.Results: The results were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon test using spss 26. Blood sugar and cholesterol levels have the same measurement results, while the pre and post measurements of uric acid levels have an increase in value which means that there is an effect of progressive muscle relaxation training on uric acid levels with a p value <0.05. . which means that Ha is accepted means that there is a difference between pre and post progressive muscle relaxation training based on Arduino Uno.Conclusion:Progressive muscle relaxation training only affects uric acid levels and has no effect on cholesterol and blood sugar levels in the elderly.

Abstract:

This preliminary work assessed the effectiveness of systematic desensitization and relaxation training as adjuncts in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. All subjects (18 female anorexics) received behavioral contracting and supportive psychotherapy from the same psychiatrist. Seven were randomly assigned to receive either desensitization ( n = 4) or relaxation training ( n = 3) as an adjunctive treatment. Data on the 11 subjects without adjunctive treatment came from closed case files. Contrary to prediction, all significant differences in outcome favored use of relaxation. Relaxation was associated with higher self-esteem and less fear of fat than desensitization was at the 6-mo. follow-up and relaxation was associated with much better outcome at 18 mo. than were desensitization or no adjunctive treatment. Anorexia appears to differ from classical phobias in two ways, which may explain the unexpected effectiveness of relaxation training.
