“…DISCUSSION These results indicate that neither posthypnotic performance-enhancing instructions, or performance-enhancing instructions alone, had a facilitative effect on the performance of this cognitive-motor task. This is in line with previous research on skill tasks (Arnold, 1971;Edmonston & Marks, 1967). Other studies which measured reaction time, however, have indicated that motivational instructions and/or alert hypnotic inductions improved performance on a reaction time task (Ham & Edmonston, 1971;Rader, 1972).…”

“…Rader (1972) found that motivational instructions, with or without hypnosis, significantly improved reaction time. Arnold (1971) and Edmonston and Marks (1967), however, found that positive involving or exhortation instructions did not improve performance on a skill task.…”

“…Con respecto al aprendizaje, Edmonston y Marks (1967) no encontraron efectos significativos de la hipnosis ni de instrucciones motivacionales sobre el aprendizaje kinestésico, llegando incluso a encontrar que podía producir interferencias en el aprendizaje de una tarea. En esta línea, Arnold (1971) tampoco encontró resultados significativos sobre el aprendizaje motor de sugestiones positivas (con o sin hipnosis), ni tampoco diferencias en base a la hipnotizabilidad de los sujetos.…”

Hypnosis is a technique that has a multitude of scientific evidence in favor of its efficacy as an adjuvant technique in the treatment of different disorders –medical or psychological nature– in children and adults, and more specifically, also in the field of sport psychology, although this evidence has not always been accompanied by rigorous methodological procedures. For this reason, this study presents a systematic review on the efficacy of hypnosis in sport and exercise, describing the results of this technique on performance in athletes and physical activity practitioners, and exploring the statistical power of the set of studies. A total of 45 studies were included, most of which revealed the positive effects of the use of hypnosis compared to other techniques used. With respect to the methodological criteria, most of the studies met the established criteria, with the exception of the assessment of hypnotic suggestibility and the measurement of effect size, both of which are of utmost importance. These results highlight the importance of continuing to contribute to the development of hypnosis in the discipline, given the positive effects and advantages that hypnosis can have. La hipnosis es un conjunto variado de procedimientos que posee abundante evidencia científica sobre su utilidad como técnica coadyuvante en el tratamiento de distintos trastornos, de índole médica o psicológica especialmente en adultos. No obstante, en el ámbito de la Psicología del Deporte la evidencia disponible parece escasa, y no siempre basada en estudios rigurosos desde un punto de vista metodológico. Por este motivo, este estudio presenta una revisión sistemática según la Declaración Prisma sobre la eficacia de la hipnosis en el deporte y el ejercicio/práctica deportiva. Los objetivos son describir los resultados de este conjunto de técnicas sobre el rendimiento en deportistas y practicantes de ejercicio físico, y mostrar la potencia estadística del conjunto de estudios y su rigor metodológico. Se incluyeron un total de 45 estudios, que revelaron, en su mayoría, los efectos positivos del uso de la hipnosis frente a otras técnicas utilizadas. Con respecto a los criterios metodológicos, la mayoría de los estudios cumplieron con los criterios establecidos, a excepción de evaluación de la sugestionabilidad hipnótica y medida del tamaño del efecto. Estos resultados ponen de relevancia la importancia de continuar contribuyendo al desarrollo de la hipnosis en Psicología del Deporte, visto que los posibles efectos positivos y las ventajas que puede presentar la misma presentan aún poca evidencia científica. A hipnose é um conjunto variado de procedimentos que tem provas científicas abundantes sobre a sua utilidade como técnica adjuvante no tratamento de várias doenças, especialmente em adultos. No entanto, no campo da Psicologia do Desporto as provas disponíveis parecem ser escassas, e nem sempre baseadas em estudos rigorosos de um ponto de vista metodológico. Por esta razão, este estudo apresenta uma revisão sistemática de acordo com a Declaração Prisma sobre a eficácia da hipnose no desporto e na prática de exercício/esporte. Os objectivos são descrever os resultados deste conjunto de técnicas sobre o desempenho em atletas e praticantes de actividade física, e mostrar o poder estatístico do conjunto de estudos e o seu rigor metodológico. Foram incluídos um total de 45 estudos. A maioria deles revelou os efeitos positivos do uso da hipnose em comparação com outras técnicas. No que diz respeito aos critérios metodológicos, a maioria dos estudos cumpriu os critérios estabelecidos, com excepção da avaliação da sugestibilidade hipnótica e da medição da dimensão do efeito. Estes resultados sublinham a importância de continuar a contribuir para o desenvolvimento da hipnose na Psicologia do Desporto, dado que os possíveis efeitos positivos e vantagens da hipnose ainda apresentam poucas provas científicas.

This article is part of an occasional series profiling editors of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (AJCH). William E. Edmonston was the second editor, succeeding Milton H. Erickson. His research focused on the use of conditioning paradigms and psychophysiological measures to explore a wide variety of hypnotic phenomena, leading to a "neo-Pavlovian" theory of neutral hypnosis as physiological relaxation (anesis). A longtime professor of psychology at Colgate University, he created an interdisciplinary undergraduate major in neuroscience, and was named New York State College Professor of the Year in 1988. He gave the Journal a new look, and a greater balance of clinical and experimental papers. The article also provides background on George Barton Cutten, George H. Estabrooks, and Frank A. Pattie, pioneers of hypnosis who were linked to Edmonston.
