From a subject pool, Type A and B subjects, 13 women and 12 men, were chosen to participate in EMG biofeedback training for two sessions. In Session 1 subjects were given standard biofeedback training instructions without any set except to use the biofeedback signals to relax. In Session 2 a mildly competitive set was introduced with potential monetary reward. Subjects showed relaxation over and within sessions with no significant type or set differences or interactions. Men showed more increased relaxation within sessions than did women regardless of type and set
