1. CBD accelerates muscle recovery
CBD is increasingly popular with athletes, from Sunday hikers to elite athletes! After intensive training, the muscles undergo microlesions which lead to more or less intense pain and inflammation. These microlesions are necessary for muscle development, particularly as part of a hypertrophy training program.
Cannabidiol will therefore mobilize its anti-inflammatory effects to reduce inflammation without altering the cellular regeneration process which allows the development of muscle mass. Recovery is therefore faster and less painful. You will therefore be able to reasonably increase the pace and continue your progress.
2. CBD to soothe pain
Athletes can be subject to muscle pain or joint stiffness, whether after intense training, due to overtraining or even following a wrong movement or poor execution of an exercise. an exercise, especially with heavy loads.
Certainly, CBD will not treat the underlying cause. You will probably need to visit your osteopath or sports doctor. On the other hand, a good CBD oil to massage or consume sublingually will allow you to reduce pain and promote better mobility without the side effects associated with traditional analgesic medications.
3. CBD to improve sleep quality
Sports performance depends on the holy trinity: training, nutrition and rest. Clearly, not everything happens at the gym. The kitchen and bedroom play a vital role in performance, whether for muscle development, speed, endurance, strength, etc.
According to an IFOP study, 7 out of 10 French people say they suffer from a sleep problem. Insomnia, which remains the most common sleep disorder, is poison for athletes. Here again, CBD can be helpful. The molecule mobilizes its soothing and relaxing properties to accelerate the falling asleep phase and neutralize the symptoms of paradoxical sleep disorder, in particular nocturnal verbalization (talking in one's sleep), muscle spasms, recurring awakenings in the middle of the night, etc.
You will thus be able to improve the quality (and quantity) of your sleep, with full, restful nights and more productive days.
4. CBD to boost your mind
Sport is also in the head. If you are subject to debilitating stress before competitions or if you have difficulty concentrating, you can opt for CBD, to be consumed sublingually, to regain serenity and boost your ability to memorize and concentrate.
