Managing the health of the eSport athlete : an integrated health management model / Joanne DiFrancisco-Donoghue... [et al.]

DiFrancisco-Donoghue, Joanne

Esport is a form of electronic gaming, also known as professional or competitive video gaming, and is growing at a rapid pace worldwide. Over 50 US colleges have established varsity gaming teams over the past three years; some colleges offer eSport scholarships as they do for traditional sports. There is little objective research on the health habits of these players who are often placed under the direction of the athletics department on college campuses, and there is currently no health management model on how to treat these new athletes.
