Sport and CBD? Czech brand Fitcann has developed an ideal solution for everyone who likes sports, has increased physical activity, and needs to be ready for another sport performance. It uses the power of active substances of the plant Cannabis sativa. The so far feared and judged cannabis has become a trend. Why?
In the last few years, cannabis has been emerging among athletes, seniors and generally people who need to strengthen their bodies. Thousands of athletes all over the world won’t hear a word against cannabis care, and social media is full of positive reviews of one of its active substances: CBD (cannabidiol). According to the experience of many people, this legal substance helps with body regeneration and mental well-being. These people also say that CBD fights against inflammation, soothes pain and increases the quality of sleep.
Our body generates its own cannabinoids
The experience of athletes is confirmed by scientific studies, which recommend the use of CBD. In pharmacy, the substance was discovered in the 1940’s. However, it wasn’t considered legal, even though it’s not psychoactive. In cannabis, there are more than hundred cannabinoid substances that work together and synergically attach to certain receptors; those that transduce important signals to the body. These receptors include CB1 and CB2. It’s interesting that the human body generates its own cannabinoids, so called endocannabinoids. During the time when endocannabinoids are naturally generated, the body is more virus resistant, has increased immunity, calmer mind and cognitive functions, and overall harmonization occurs
Faster regeneration thanks to the ECS
A vital system called ECS exists in the body. It generates its own endocannabinoids, very similar to those produced by the cannabis plant. The body uses them to reach overall homeostasis (balance). The ECS has been developing for thousands of years, and it plays a crucial role in both physical and mental health treatment. Cannabinoids attach to the receptors in the brain and central nervous system. They are present even in the skin and vital organs. If athletes experience faster regeneration, it’s thanks to the ECS. Moreover, it also strengthens the spirit and motivates towards better performance.
Different sources say that it was cannabis substances, what helped the Tarahumara run through the Death Valley in Nevada. These indigenous people live in adrenaline circumstances and are able to run incredible distances that would be impossible for normal people. NBA and NHL players call for CBD, as the Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has crossed it off the list of banned substances. According to the scientific research, cannabidiol has analgetic and anti-inflammatory effect, but it can do much more. There are a lot of positive results of using CBD by people with damaged cognitive functions. This is confirmed especially by seniors, to whom CBD is most helpful.

Jiri has also taken part in the development, tested the effects on his own body and selected the cannabis varieties that helped the most. That’s why he recommends Fitcann. Already six years ago, Prochazka was the first Czech athlete to use CBD, and his MMA performance in the prestigious UFC keeps overwhelming the whole world. UFC fighters have nothing but praise for CBD. You may remember Nata Diaze, inhaling CBD in a press conference and telling the world that it helps with the healing process.
