Prospects for the use of dietary supplements based on non-narcotic cannabinoids by people facing regular physical exertion
In our country, biologically active or feed additives have been created on the basis of technical hemp varieties of therapeutic orientation, which are already effectively used by dozens of Ukrainian athletes competing in various sports and competition levels. Unlike American technology, the above products are made without extracting the green mass of the hemp plant, are applied in a dry form, while giving excellent results.
Contrary to the existing public opinion, it turned out that the use of cannabis contributes to the motivation of the human body at the physiological level to high physical activity, as well as focus in achieving the goals. This kind of conclusion was recently made by a group of researchers at the University of Colorado, published in the pages of the Frontiers in Public Health.
The impetus for conducting these studies was the legalization of the possibility of the full use of cannabis in the United States and some other economically developed countries. As a result of a series of experiments, data were obtained, according to which the use of cannabis perfectly motivates active physical activities and sports. In addition, the use of plants in various forms causes a number of positive emotions, conventionally called "muscle joy", when not only you get pleasure from exercise and prolonged tension in muscles or joints, but also a desire to continue to perform other exercises related to physical activity. The cannabis plant significantly increases the compensatory abilities of the human body, i.e., the ability to restore the state of rest, homeostasis (balance of all vital functions), to remain in the right tone. The survey showed that the aforementioned positive results are manifested in the use of cannabis both before exercise and after playing sports.
Despite the fact that physical education and, especially, sports is becoming an increasingly fashionable trend among the younger generation, in general, the number of such people is an extremely small proportion of the population of economically developed countries of the world. Hemp can increase the number of people who are actively engaged in physical exercise, and they will get a pronounced emotional pleasure from it.
Commentary of the Association "Ukrainian technical hemp"
From January 1, 2018, the World Anti-Doping Agency excluded cannabidiol from the list of prohibited substances, which opened up wide possibilities for using dietary supplements based on non-narcotic cannabis in order to restore the body's physiological and emotional functions before and after a strenuous training process, reducing pain, regeneration of tissues damaged by numerical microtraumas.
If in the USA this direction of cannabis use is still under development, then in Ukraine preparations based on the therapeutic properties of cannabis are already actively used both in professional / amateur sports and by military personnel or individuals facing extreme physical exertion. In particular, drug-free cannabinoids contained in technical hemp are an effective therapeutic agent actively used by the above-mentioned categories of citizens. For example, in our country, on the basis of technical hemp varieties of therapeutic orientation, biologically active or feed additives are created, which are already effectively used by dozens of Ukrainian athletes competing in various sports and levels of competition. Unlike American technology, the above products are made without extracting the green mass of the hemp plant, are applied in a dry form, while giving excellent results.
