BETA BLOCKERS
Beta blockers, also called beta-adrenergic blocking agents, treat a variety of conditions, such as high blood pressure, glaucoma and migraines. They slow down the heart beat, decrease the force of the contractions of the heart muscles, and reduce blood vessel contraction in the heart, brain, as well as the rest of the body. They are a class of medications prescribed to block the effects of adrenaline. Beta blockers widen the arteries, allowing for greater blood flow and reducing involuntary muscle spasms. Research has also determined that beta blockers reduce anxiety. Both reduction of muscle spasms and anxiety is useful in many sports. Beta blockers are very famous among archery and gymnastics because they are both sports who highly depend on a steady body and balance. This is beacuse beta blockers calms your entire body helping you achieve a state of relaxation, stability and balance.
