Why the study?
Does hypnotic suggestion of running alter plasma renin activity, angiotensin II, aldosterone, heart rate, and blood pressure in male athletes?

Mental experience of running under hypnosis can cause hemodynamic and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system changes similar to actual exercise, suggesting mental factors contribute to exercise-induced physiological changes.
