Abstract

The present study aimed at comparing the efficacy of two relaxation techniques on stressed females.30 highly stressed female subjects were selected and randomly assigned to three groups (N=10 each) (a) group 1 receiving galvanic skin resistance biofeedback, (b) group 2 receiving progressive muscle relaxation training, (c) group 3 control. The stress level was determined using Comprehensive Anxiety Test Questionnaire. Pulse rate was measured before and after training on day 1 and day 10. Results indicate that progressive muscle relaxation training can significantly reduce high pulse rate as compared to other two groups
