Interesting question, I agree! I have been into eSports for a long time and I see how more and more attention is paid to the health of players, although earlier this issue was in the background. According to https://www.ruthlessreviews.com/featured-posts/a-new-perspective-on-health-in-professional-gaming/ if we look at professional players, especially those who play in major tournaments, we will notice that their schedule is really intense – 10-12 hours of training a day, plus games, participation in interviews, traveling. This is an insane load on the body. Especially considering that many of them start their careers at a very young age, and the body does not have time to strengthen. As for physical problems, the most common ones for eSports players are problems with the eyes and posture. Many hours at the computer lead to deterioration of vision and various eye diseases – fatigue, inflammation, dryness. In addition, a sedentary lifestyle affects the back and neck, which causes chronic pain. In fact, some major eSports organizations have already started paying attention to such things. For example, several well-known teams have sports doctors and physiotherapists on permanent duty, who monitor the players’ condition and arrange regular stretching, massages, and other procedures for them. But what’s interesting is that physical activity alone is not enough to be successful in this field. Mental health is no less important. Constant training, tournaments, relentless competition, as well as enormous pressure from fans and sponsors, of course, affect the players’ psyche. Many face anxiety, depression, or even burnout. And here’s an important point – it’s very important to find a balance between the game and your personal life, otherwise burnout can become a serious problem.
