Not trapping the force within the body is something else. Posture is a factor, relaxation another. Breaks in proper movement loses the force and keeps it in the body. Tensing the muscles also keeps the force within the body. Too many factors to make a general statement about this.

The problem is that some people stick to the tension and focus on developing it, instead of discarding it slowly. My current opinion on the subject.
