CBD in sports

Athletes give to their bodies a hard time. As a result, they are efficient, but they also wear out the body more quickly, which causes injury and pain. That is why it‘s necessary to think about effective regeneration, possibly also about pain suppression.

Various medicines were used recently, but they have rather negative effects on the body in the long term. Today, CBD is starting to be discussed. CBD hemp oil can significantly help athletes in the treatment of injuries, pain, inflammation or muscle spasms, even as a dietary supplement.

Research on CBD is still ongoing, but it is already clear that it is a great supplement for athletes. It supports muscle regeneration, accelerates the healing of sports injuries, calms the body and mind and helps the body to achieve a natural balance.

5 reasons why athletes use CBD

1. It relieves pain
From the experience of athletes, CBD is proven to relieve pain. From musculoskeletal pain from exercise to joint pain.

2. It is an excellent alternative to ibuprofen and opiates
Athletes used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, etc.) for pain relief for many years. These drugs do not suit the body in the long term, they damage, for example, the kidneys. The body tolerates opiates for pain even worse (morphine, codeine, tramadol, etc.). CBD is not as effective as opiates for acute, high-intensity pain relief, but can be effective for long-term pain management—either alone or in combination with other medications.

3. It has an anti-inflammatory effect
CBD has an anti-inflammatory effect throughout the body. This is especially useful for those athletes who train really hard and their body needs support to cope without the problems of inflammation.

4. Improves sleep
When you sleep long, deeply and well, you feel better. You can train more and better, you have more strength. For athletes, this is one of the keys to success.

5. Protects the intestines 
A common reason why an athlete withdraws from a race or does not start at all is problems with inflammation in the intestines. CBD is effective in reducing the symptoms of these inflammations.

CBD hemp and doping tests

This is not doping. In early 2018, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removed CBD from list of banned substances – both in-competition and out-of-competition. The Anti-Doping USA Agency (USADA) did the same.

Hemp products for topical use, such as oils or ointments, do not affect drug test results, regardless of how high the CBD / THC ratio is. In this case, the skin acts as a barrier and prevents these substances from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Consuming, smoking or vaporizing CBD is therefore not a problem, as CBD is classified as a legal substance in most countries of the world.

As mentioned above, the use of CBD is 100% legal in the Czech Republic.
