Cannabidiol (CBD) on the physiology and metabolism of exercise

Cannabidiol (CBD) may have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic and neuroprotective effects, which have attracted the attention of athletes. The regulations around CBD are complex, and in the UK, consumption is limited to 70mg/day where any impact on physiology and metabolism is unknown. This PhD will undertake a series of physiology-focused studies in the Lancaster Human Performance Lab to determine the impact of CBD on metabolism, performance, and recovery.
