The effects of exercise on circulating endocannabinoid levels-a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increased circulating endocannabinoids levels are typically associated with aerobic exercise. This phenomenon is associated with a "runner's high," a state of euphoria and well-being experienced after a long exercise. We will provide in this review a transparent and standardized methodology following the PRISMA-P and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions for conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis for synthesizing the available evidence about the effects of physical activity on the circulating levels of AEA and 2-AG endocannabinoids in healthy subjects.

Methods

A multi-disciplinary team with basic and clinical expertise in exercise science developed this protocol. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Scopus will be
