Study Reveals Cannabis Increases Workout Enjoyment but May Impair Performance

However, THC can impair performance and increase heart rate, and separate research indicates regular cannabis use may increase the risk of coronary artery disease. The study highlights the need to balance the potential benefits of cannabis for exercise motivation with its health risks and performance impacts.
