Reasons for relaxing muscles:

1, increase muscle strength and promote muscle development.

Physiologically, muscle tension and relaxation are controlled by the cerebral cortex. If muscles only contract and relax, it is not easy to stimulate muscles at a deeper level, and it is also impossible to effectively exert the sports potential of the human body.

2. Reduce fatigue and avoid sports injuries.

Tightly contracted muscles will compress blood vessels in muscles and affect blood flow. Once the muscle is relaxed, it will greatly improve the blood circulation conditions, increase the blood flow by more than ten times than when the muscle is tense, and reduce the blood lactic acid content, which plays an important role in relieving fatigue and avoiding sports injuries.

3. Improve the coordination of actions

For beginners, muscle relaxation can improve the flexibility and flexibility of muscles and joints, make movements relaxed and have a good sense of rhythm, thus speeding up the learning process of movements.
