The use of cannabis prior to running is associated with greater feelings of enjoyment and tranquility, according to data published in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research.
根據發表在《大麻與大麻素研究》雜誌上的數據，在跑步之前使用大麻可以增強享受感和寧靜感。
Study participants ran an average of 3.88 miles. Participants reported "a more positive exercise experience" when they ran immediately after having used cannabis as compared to when they did not.
研究參與者平均跑了 3.88 英里。參與者報告說，與未使用大麻時相比，他們在使用大麻後立即跑步時 “有更積極的運動經歷”。
Authors reported: "Participants reported experiencing more positive affect, enjoyment, tranquility, and runner's high symptoms (e.g., euphoria, effortlessness) while running after ad libitum (as needed) use of cannabis. This is in line with previous cross-sectional research suggesting that cannabis use with exercise may increase exercise enjoyment."
作者報告說：“參與者報告說，在隨意（根據需要）使用大麻後，跑步時會出現更積極的情緒、享受、寧靜和跑步者的高漲症狀（例如欣快、毫不費力）。這與先前的橫斷面研究一致，該研究表明，在運動中使用大麻可能會增加運動樂趣。”
They concluded: "As feelings of positive affect, dissociation, and enjoyment during exercise are positively associated with an individual's ability to begin and maintain a regular exercise regimen, it is possible that cannabis use may actually facilitate exercise motivation and engagement among some cannabis users. These findings could explain, in part, why cannabis users are more likely to meet minimum physical activity guidelines and have lower body mass indexes, as well as why cannabis users who use cannabis when they exercise engage in more exercise on average relative to users who do not engage in this behavior."
他們得出結論：“由於運動期間的積極影響、分離感和享受感與個人開始和維持定期鍛鍊方案的能力呈正相關，因此使用大麻實際上可能促進一些大麻使用者的運動動機和參與度。這些發現可以部分解釋爲什麼大麻使用者更有可能達到最低體育鍛煉準則且體重指數較低，以及爲什麼在運動時使用大麻的大麻使用者與不從事這種行爲的使用者相比，平均而言，運動時使用大麻的大麻使用者的運動量更多。”
Data published in 2022 by researchers at Wayne State University strongly suggests that endocannabinoids are responsible for the so-called 'runner's high' experience. "Exercise reliably increases levels of the body's endocannabinoids [and] ... studies in humans and in animal models are pointing to endocannabinoids — not endorphins — as the star players in the runner's high," wrote Hilary A. Marusak, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at the university. "This natural chemical boost may better explain some of the beneficial effects of exercise on [the] brain and body."
韋恩州立大學的研究人員在2022年發佈的數據強烈表明，內源性大麻素是造成所謂的 “跑步者” 體驗的原因。該大學精神病學和行爲神經科學助理教授希拉里·馬魯薩克寫道：“運動可以可靠地提高人體內源性大麻素的水平 [而且]... 對人類和動物模型的研究表明，內源性大麻素——而不是內啡肽——是跑步者中的明星球員。”“這種天然化學增強劑可以更好地解釋運動對大腦和身體的一些有益影響。”
Several prior studies have documented the relationship between cannabis use and greater physical activity in both younger and older populations.
先前的幾項研究已經記錄了年輕人和老年人群中使用大麻與增加體育鍛煉之間的關係。
An abstract of the study, "Running high: Cannabis users' subjective experience of exercise during legal market cannabis use versus no use in a naturalistic setting," appears online.
該研究的摘要 “跑得很快：大麻使用者的主觀運動體驗，在合法市場上使用大麻與在自然主義環境中不使用大麻”，出現在網上。
