Digital Smarts - Sports Scientists Take on Esports
You are here
Gaming team Fnatic is working with sports scientists to determine how sleep and stress affect players' performance. Researchers will also examine the role of caffeine, alcohol and cortisol levels, with Fnatic CEO Sam Matthews noting that as esports becomes fiercely competitive, "you're always looking at edges that you can get, whether it's hardware, training, or psychology." As more and more schools offer esports teams, esports will be the subject of even more research and how it affects students in and out of the classroom.
