How can cannabinoids be used to enhance athletic performance and recovery? Cannabinoids may enhance athletic performance and recovery through their potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties. Athletes may benefit from cannabinoids in managing pain, reducing inflammation, and improving recovery times following strenuous exercise. Additionally, cannabinoids can help alleviate anxiety and promote relaxation, potentially improving focus and performance during competitions. However, the effects of cannabinoids on athletic performance are still under investigation, and potential legal implications regarding cannabinoid use in sports must be considered. Further research is needed to establish guidelines for safe and effective cannabinoid use among athletes (Hurd et al., 2019).
