Zusammenfassung:The plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensin II and aldosterone concentrations, heart rate and blood pressure of four male athletes were measured before, during and after a hypnotically suggested run. While under hypnosis the test subjects were once again brought through a training exercise of 3 × 300 m sprints that they had run about one year earlier. This hypnotic 'run' caused changes in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (R-A-A) system of the athletes similar to but smaller than accused by the actual exercise. The maximal mean increase in PRA, found 30 min after the hypnotic 'run', was 26.7% (P
