Abstract:
This Viewpoint examines the emerging role of cannabidiol (CBD) in sports medicine, with a particular emphasis on its potential to support athlete health through indirect mechanisms. Rather than acting as a direct performance enhancer, CBD may contribute to improved readiness for training and competition by promoting better sleep, alleviating anxiety, and accelerating recovery. We also discuss challenges for antidoping compliance, including product contamination and regulatory gaps in Brazil, and highlight CBD's promise as a safer alternative to opioids for pain management in athletes.
