Effect of Hypnosis on Cyclists’ Resistance to Stress
In this study we assessed the effectiveness of hypnosis in the resistance to effort. Participants were 24 junior and amateur cyclists with a mean age of 17.75 years (SD = 0.97), mean weight of 68 Kg (SD = 3.98), mean height of 178 cm (SD = 15.02), and an average of 5.75 years competing (SD = 0.48)....

| Sumario: | In this study we assessed the effectiveness of hypnosis in the resistance to effort. Participants were 24 junior and amateur cyclists with a mean age of 17.75 years (SD = 0.97), mean weight of 68 Kg (SD = 3.98), mean height of 178 cm (SD = 15.02), and an average of 5.75 years competing (SD = 0.48). The participants were randomly distributed into two groups: hypnotic suggestion and control. The intervention with hypnosis consisted of a brief relaxation technique, a hypnotic induction phase, a deep hypnosis phase, hypnotic suggestion, and a phase of being taken out of the hypnotic state. The results indicated significant relation (p <0.05) in the variable resistance to the effort, as analyzed by 2 (16,78) and lambda (0.90), with regard to the type of treatment. Performance improved as the number of hypnosis sessions increased. These findings can suggest that hypnotic intervention help sportsmen to withstand the physical exhaustion produced by high levels of effort |
