Research *ndings indicate that psychological tension may lead to various somatic and mental health problems or hamper psychological well-being of an individual. Therefore relaxation methods may serve as a tool for reducing psychophysiological tension and increasing biopsychosocial functioning. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the potential of progressive muscle relaxation and relaxation with classical music in reducing female student psycho-physiological tension (anxiety, anger, blood pressure). Material and methods. The level of anxiety was assessed by the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory. The level of anger was assessed by Anger State subscale from The State-Trait Anger Expression Scale. 70+female students aged 18 through 31 took part in the study. Results and conclusions. The study revealed that a single progressive muscle relaxation session reduces levels of anxiety and anger, while relaxation with classical music reduces anxiety, anger, and systolic blood pressure levels. Relaxation with classical music sessions had a long-term anger and diastolic blood pressure reduction ePect, and no such ePect was observed in case of progressive muscle relaxation sessions.
