In modern competitive wrestling a special priority is given to the active and conscious muscular relaxation techniques applicable after strength building practices, with the relaxation degree dependent on the training process intensity - in view of the fact that not every muscle fiber relaxes after stresses much in the same manner as not every muscle fiber contributes to the muscle contraction process. It should be noted that an untimely/ incomplete relaxation of the antagonistic muscles may create extra resistance to the key working muscles and thereby increase the energy demand. And vice versa, the muscle relaxation and tension process control ability helps make the physical performance more effective and energy-efficient, with the muscle performance variations measurable by a myotonemeter.
