None ! Yawning is either the body signalling you're tired, or that you're short of oxygen. Nothing to do with muscles !

What causes yawns?

causing yawning can be because you are tired or did not get enough sleepThere are a number of theories that attempt to explain why animals and people yawn. It is likely that there are a number of triggers for the behavior. However, there are a few theories that attempt to explain the primary evolutionary reason for the yawn. None of them has been empirically substantiated.One study states that yawning occurs when one's blood contains increased amounts of carbon dioxide and therefore becomes in need of the influx of oxygen (or expulsion of carbon dioxide) that a yawn can provide.Yawning may in fact reduce oxygen intake compared to normal respiration However, neither providing more oxygen nor reducing carbon dioxide in air decreased yawningAnother speculated reason for yawning is the desire to stretch one's muscles. The tongue and throat are some of the most used muscles in the body, used for speech, breathing and swallowing. The need to stretch these muscles and refresh them arises just like in other muscles of the body, to circulate lymph. Yawns are often accompanied by the urge to stretch. Still another proposal points out that animals subject to predation or other dangers must be ready to physically exert themselves at any given moment. At least one study suggests that yawning, especially psychological "contagious" yawning, may have developed as a way of keeping a group of animals alert
