Adventure Athletes Need More CBD, At Least That's What Science Says

May 06, 2024 in Travel

Are you an adventure athlete seeking to push your boundaries and enhance your performance? What about an average Joe trying to send your next project? Well, recent scientific research suggests that your CBD intake might be too low. A groundbreaking study, conducted by Sahinovic et al., delves into the positive effects of CBD on exercise physiology and bioenergetics. The findings highlight the potential benefits of incorporating CBD into your training regimen, from improved VO2 to reduced blood lactate levels.

The Study:

In a double-blind trial, nine endurance athletes were monitored during a one-hour exercise at 70% VO2, followed by an intense effort to exhaustion, with and without CBD. The results were compelling, showing that athletes who used 300mg of CBD experienced enhanced VO2, increased pleasure ratings, reduced blood lactate levels during the 60-minute efforts, and improved VO2 and breathing during the exhaustive phase.
