The benefits of physical exercise benefits in endocannabinoid system and mental health. The positive effects of physical exercise on boosting the endocannabinoid system activity for modulating the mental health functioning. Current evidence has shown that exercise increases the activity of the endocannabinoids by presumably inducing an “euphoric-like” effect. In addition, practicing exercise controls mental health symptomatology. However, further studies are needed to describe the mechanism of action that engages the increase in the contents of the endocannabinoids and the control of mental health disruptions.
