CBD in sports - experiences
Before exercise
More or less sport or training is an important part of many people’s lives.
However, we can only really successfully complete efficient exercise sessions if our body is in physical and mental balance. However, if you are annoyed and stressed by your everyday work life or family life, you will have little joy in training or physical activity. This is where CBD can help with sport.
For motivation:
It's not always easy to motivate yourself to train, but a little push can often make all the difference. Low doses of CBD tend to be more invigorating.

with natural power substances and with CBD oil.
CBD in sports - experiences
Cannabinoids - CBD for short - are natural ingredients of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa) and they can be used specifically and effectively at this point, also through the invigorating effect of CBD, to help us not only feel good during sports,
but also feel more active, optimize regeneration and increase our well-being.
Unlike THC, cannabidiol works (CBD) is not psychoactive, does not cause addiction and is legal, although it differs only slightly in its chemical structure. In recent years, CBD has increasingly become the focus of therapeutic use and numerous studies confirm its health-supporting properties. However, further targeted studies in other areas are necessary.
To relax the psyche:
Even competitive athletes are now benefiting from CBD. Because of its calming effect, it can help to relax on an emotional level, such as when suffering from stage fright, fear of competition or fear of failure. Or simply to help you detach yourself from everyday stress.
In September 2017, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removed CBD from the list of prohibited substances, allowing many athletes to use cannabidiol as a natural supplement in sport. However, due to doping controls, it is important to use CBD products that do not contain THC.
There are study reports on this
For endurance and strength:
By activating and balancing the body's endocannabinoid system, CBD improves both endurance and overall health. As a result, CBD provides an athletic advantage in sports, which is useful for athletes in addition to amateur athletes.
CBD also influences the metabolism and, above all, stimulates fat metabolism. The more energy the body gets from fat, the longer it can perform. CBD is also rapidly becoming more popular among amateur athletes, as it reduces stress levels and also helps to avoid annoying muscle cramps.
In case of overload - pain - inflammation:
Not properly prepared and warmed up? Suddenly feeling pain?
This often affects inexperienced “Sunday athletes” in particular, i.e. people who exercise sporadically and without physical preparation purely for the joy of being active in nature. Things like long hikes, skiing, bike tours, etc.
Many sports injuries, such as torn ligaments, joint pain, broken bones and sprains or simply overuse and sore muscles, also result in some form of inflammation. The faster the body regenerates, the sooner you can train as effectively and as efficiently as possible again.
The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD speed up this process and aid in recovery.
CBD for muscle building and muscle regeneration
CBD also has a generally positive effect on muscle regeneration . Inflammation occurs during every workout and is the basis for muscle growth and increased performance. If the muscles are irritated, small local inflammations occur in the muscle tissue. During the regeneration period, these small injuries in the muscle fibers heal. With sufficient recovery, what is known as supercompensation occurs, which means that the muscle becomes stronger and more enduring. It is therefore not surprising that many top athletes have discovered CBD for their regeneration.
Experienced athletes also like to use Hemp Protein Power Clean
A balanced combination of natural hemp protein with plant-based vitamins, as ideal sports nutrition for physical challenges.
And if it was too much for the muscles and joints, or if inexperienced people experience muscle soreness, activated cannabidiol from hemp can also be a relief for tense muscles and joints when applied externally.
Specially manufactured effective SOS lotions and organic regeneration gels with CBD and other proven, natural plant substances are very effective.
CBD instead of medication during exercise
In many cases, cannabis may be more effective than ibuprofen in reducing inflammation, relaxing muscles, and also helping to promote restful sleep - all properties that may be desirable for athletes. The approval of CBD is a risk-free move, as it is a non-mind-altering component of cannabis that offers a number of benefits.
And if it gets athletes to reduce their use of prescription painkillers or sleeping pills, that's another win.
Endurance athletes often suffer from side stitches, nausea or heartburn. The reason for this is reduced oxygen and nutrient supply. Inflammation and oxidative stress occur, which can lead to gastrointestinal problems. Studies show that CBD can be promising for relieving pain and reducing inflammation.
CBD has shown some effects that may be relevant for gastrointestinal problems caused by physical exertion. There are also studies on how CBD can reduce intestinal inflammation.
After sports
CBD oil is said to have a relaxing and calming effect .
Amateur athletes and top athletes sometimes suffer from sleep problems. Falling asleep can be difficult. Waking up at night sweating and often with a pounding heart can lead to a lack of energy, drive and motivation, as well as a severe reduction in concentration and performance. CBD can help you fall asleep faster and wake up better refreshed. This not only benefits your psyche and sleep, but also - indirectly - your motivation for sport, muscle building and performance.
And there is another very pleasing effect:
Yankel Gabet and researchers from Tel Aviv University have now discovered another interesting approach with cannabidiol (CBD):
They report: " The healing process for bone fractures is significantly faster and, in addition, the affected areas of the bone are stronger and more robust. This means that they no longer break as quickly as they did before."
