摘要：The purpose of this study is to ass ess the effect of progressive muscular relaxation (PMR) training on blood pressure,heart rate a nd reaction times measured by means o f three different techniques.A total of 16 elite sportsmen,aged 19.2 ± 0.8 and of 6.2 ± 1.4 yea rs sports p as t were included in this research.The subjects performed PMR training during 12-16 sessions.Systolic and diastolic blood pressures,p uls e rates and reaction tim es using simple,choice and discrimination techniques were tak en before and afte r the training.After a four minute PMR training,the se variables were compared with pre-test results.Repea ted m easures An ova and MANOVA were u sed to compare the data.There were significan t d ifferences fo r systolic blood pressure {F(2f30)= 19.4;p<0.01}t diastolic blood pr essure {F(2,30)= 12.3;p<0.01} and p ulse rate {F(2,30)= 43.1;p<0.01}.The results revealed tha t there were significant differences between reaction time measu rem ents {F(2,30)= 3.6;p<0.05} and according to post-hoc Tu-Key ana lysis,the differences were caused by the second measurements.
