1.8 ACE CEC - Cannabidiol (CBD) 2021

Course description

An increasing number of people, including clients of fitness professionals, take or consider taking the non-psychoactive cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD). Fitness professionals are regarded as authorities and opinion leaders regarding not only fitness but also health issues, sports nutrition, and supplements, so their clients may turn to them for information on CBD as well.

However, many fitness professionals may be unprepared to provide their clients with up-to-date, scientifically accurate information about CBD, or its practical, sports-related application. The course was designed and developed by EpiConsult LLC, a biomedical consulting and medical communications agency, also the publisher of the web site treatmentwithcbd.com. The course is aimed to give certified fitness professionals biomedically accurate and up-to-date information on CBD’s background and regulation, mechanism of action, physiological effects, benefits of use and safety. The course also discusses the place of CBD in recreational and competitive sports.

This course was created by a team of experts and athletes from various fields, including, but not limited to, medicine, biochemistry, public health, epidemiology, and endurance and strength sports. The course material is based on solid scientific data and the results of research studies published in peer-reviewed scientific publications.
