Abstract
Individuals who engage in endurance events tend to experience higher levels of stress within the body, mind, and gut, that often lead to impairment of performance. Based on previous studies, CBD has the potential relieve gut distress, and reduce pre-race anxiety thus resulting in an improvement in sport performance. Given the current research on the use of CBD in active individuals, the aim of this pilot study is to explore the effects of CBD compared to a placebo on anxiety, GI distress and a 2-mile running performance in a moderately active population identifying as female.
