Topical Application of Cannabidiol for Muscle Recovery : A randomized, double-blinded Pilot Study on Recovery of Muscle Function After Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage

Résumé

Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid from the cannabis plant, has gained popularity for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties, along with a favorable safety profile (Gamelin et al., 2020). Since the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removed CBD from its list of prohibited substances in 2018, and given its identified pharmacological effects, this compound has attracted growing interest among athletes, with its use steadily increasing in recent years (Leas et al., 2019). While some studies report positive effects of oral CBD on muscle damage markers and performance recovery, findings remain inconsistent, and the effects of topical CBD application in a sports recovery context remain largely unexplored. This pilot study aimed to investigate the effects of a topical CBD gel on muscle function, delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and blood marker of muscle damage (Myoglobin) rarely assessed in previous CBD studies following strenuous exercise designed to induce muscle damage.
