The lower temperatures cooking sous vide helps with retaining moister in meat.  While the Myosin contracts in the 104-122 F temperature range, actin denatures at a much higher range of 150-163 F.  Braising takes the meat up past the actin temps but with sous vide you can keep it below. (Note some online sous vide recipes say to use a higher temperature, so look for ones that keep the temperature below 150.)
