- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hypnotic induction (HI) on the absolute strength of men trained in resistance training through the onerepetition maximum (1RM) test, and verify the number of repetitions maximum (NRM) with the 1RM load collected in the test without HI. Twelve men were submitted to three tests: (a) 1RM test without HI; (b) 1RM test with HI; and (c) NRM test with HI using the load of the first test. The performance in the 1RM test with HI was significantly higher than the performance in this test without HI. There was a statistically significant difference between the post-hypnosis NRM test with the same load of the 1RM test without HI when compared to the NRM test without hypnosis intervention. This study showed that the HI can be an important tool in increasing muscle strength in the 1RM test and the NRM test in trained men.
