DOES CBD Provide Benefits for Sport/Recovery? (What the Supplement)

Описание: Welcome to today's What the Supplement, where we discuss the findings from research surrounding Cannabidiol and its potential benefits.
Some pre-clinical work has shown promising evidence on mice with muscular dystrophy improving strength and coordination as well as a reduction in tissue degeneration while on a high-dose of CBD. That being said exercise-induced muscle damage is different in their pathophysiology from muscular dystrophy and that’s why more research in human trials is needed to confirm this potential benefit.
Dietary intake and feeding, CBD showed no effect
CBD is unlikely to have any major influence on thermoregulation
Under low-stress conditions, CBD is unlikely to provide any significant improvement in sports performance anxiety, however, under stress-inducing conditions, CBD has shown potential to improve the performance under a simulated public speaking trial. Small sample size and needs more research to show how it affects sports performance to make it more relevant, but it’s promising.
Since athletes typically sleep less than non-athletes and experience poorer quality sleep than non-athletes due to effects of evening competitions, training sessions, pre-competition anxiety, use of caffeine, and long-haul travel (jet lag, fatigue, etc). CBD has not shown to improve sleep quality, but through those comorbid conditions, it improves pre-competition anxiety and reduces sleep latency therefore you get to bed faster and could potentially experience improved sleep. It’s not certain that CBD can actually help the quality of the sleep itself.
These findings are preliminary, most of the information is only coming from mice/rats, and therefore no relevant information is out with research on humans.
