Abstract
Abstract Ten young men in excellent physical condition were trained to meet specified criteria of hypnotic trance depth (including complete posthypnotic amnesia) and were tested twice on all-out rides of 100 revolutions on the bicycle ergometer (26.8 lb. resistance.) The subjects were placed in a trance before both test rides, but before only one test they were given posthypnotic suggestions, which were not recalled consciously, that they would have unusual strength, endurance, and freedom from fatigue and would recover rapidly after the exertion. The mean advantage of the ride following posthypnotic suggestions was not statistically significant, but the subjective reports of the subjects were favorable to the suggestions.
