THE IMPORTANCE OF RELAXATION TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE AS EXEMPLIFIED BY RUGBY PLAYERS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The study focuses on the role of relaxation techniques in enhancing the performance of rugby players. The study evaluated the effectiveness of breathing exercises, visualization and progressive muscle relaxation to reduce stress levels in 20 participants aged 18 to 26 years. Using the stress rating scale (PSS-10), a 10% reduction in stress levels was found in the experimental group who used relaxation techniques compared to the control group who had only a 2% reduction. These results support the effectiveness of relaxation techniques to enhance cognitive function and reduce the risk of injury in rugby players

Keywords:
