CBD: a natural support for athletes

CBD and sport are far from incompatible. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychotropic effects and is not considered a doping substance. In fact, the World Anti-Doping Agency has officially removed it from the list of prohibited substancesopening the way for its use by athletes. Whether to optimize physical preparation or to promote more effective recovery after exercise, CBD is establishing itself as a natural ally of choice for athletes. Let's find out why this molecule is attracting growing interest in the world of sport.

CBD, a natural regulator for athletes

To maximize performance, athletes need to maintain a balance between their physical and mental well-being. CBD stands out for its regulatory properties, which can prove invaluable in this context.

On the one hand, it plays a role in appetite management, helping to control weight gain and maintain a balanced diet, a key factor for fitness-conscious athletes.

CBD also promotes muscular and mental relaxation by improving sleep quality. Restorative rest is essential to improve recovery and optimize performance during training sessions and competitions. By acting as a true ally of the body, CBD enables athletes to stay in top form and tackle each session with serenity.

Stress relief

Stress and nervousness are common among athletes, especially during high-pressure competitions and events. During intense physical activity, the body naturally releases endorphins and anandamide, neurotransmitters that provide a feeling of well-being and relaxation. However, this effect can be temporary, and some athletes experience a surge in stress which impacts on their performance.

CBD works by acting on the endocannabinoid systemsystem, promoting a state of calm and concentration. It helps reduce anxiety, preventing the tenseness that can impair physical and mental performance. By incorporating CBD into their routine, athletes can better manage stress, approach competitions with greater serenity and maximize their potential without being held back by pressure.

An ally for post-exercise recovery

CBD is not only a valuable aid before a sporting event, it also plays a key role in the recovery phase. Its relaxing and soothing properties contribute to a return to mental and physical calm, enabling athletes to recover more quickly and effectively after intense effort.

Mental relaxation after exercise

After a marathon, triathlon or other demanding sporting event, it's not uncommon to feel an emotional backlash, accompanied by a state of mental fatigue, even nausea or post-competition stress. CBD, taken as a sublingual oil for a rapid effect or as an infusion for a prolonged moment of relaxation, helps to alleviate these sensations by promoting gradual mental relaxation.

Support for muscle recovery

When sportsmen and women use their muscles intensively, they may experience pain, cramps or aches. Applying CBD in the form of a gel, balm or massage oil to sore areas helps relax muscles, reducing tension and speeding muscle recovery.

Targeted action in the event of injury

Muscle injuries such as sprains, strains or strains often lead to inflammation, slowing down the healing process. Thanks to its soothing properties, CBD can help reduce inflammation and pain, facilitating recovery and limiting muscle damage.
