A center to relieve athletes' stress using music opened in the Universiade village Thursday, Aug 4. This is the first music-based stress relief center in Universiade history.

Thirteen veteran therapists from Shenzhen Mental Health Service Center for Women and Children will provide musical therapy to patients based on an intelligent, musical somatosensory system.

"All therapists have received English training and they have no difficulty in communicating with athletes in English," said Ke Bo, deputy director of the center.
