1. Reduction of activity as a result of an antagonistic stimulation






2. Muscular effort that results in joint movement - due to the shortening of contracting muscle tissue

13. Alternate tensing and relaxing of respiratory - forehead - eye and vocalizing muscles to induce physical and mental relaxation
