      Hi! I have recently been thinking about how important health is for professional gamers. The eSports industry has been developing very quickly in recent years, and new games and tournaments appear every day, but most people seem to forget about the health of the players. I have already heard that they often have problems with their eyes, back, and mental state. For example, some teams even have full-time psychologists, which clearly shows how important this issue is. I wonder if there are any other specific approaches to maintaining health in professional players? Maybe there are examples of successful practices? Does anyone know anything?

      Great question! You rightly pointed out that with the development of eSports, the health of players is becoming an important topic, and more attention is paid to it. According to https://www.ruthlessreviews.com/featured-posts/a-new-perspective-on-health-in-professional-gaming/ the problems that professional gamers face can indeed be called unique, and if before no one thought about the health of players, now the situation is changing. First of all, as you said, eye problems are one of the most common aspects. Many hours at the computer, constant work with the screen – that’s the result. Vision problems can range from mild fatigue to more serious diseases, such as dry eye syndrome or deterioration of distance vision. Some professional players report that they have to undergo regular eye examinations and use special glasses for working at the computer to reduce eye strain. These glasses block blue light and reduce the strain on the visual apparatus. In addition, most experienced gamers have problems with posture. A sedentary lifestyle, staying in one position for a long time while playing and training, often cause pain in the back, neck and shoulders. Often, these players need regular massage sessions, as well as training on exercise machines or with physical therapists. Some teams have special physical therapists who work with players on their physical condition. For example, some start doing yoga or Pilates to strengthen their back and improve flexibility. This helps to avoid injuries and increase endurance.

      Indeed, the importance of health in esports is becoming more and more obvious. It is encouraging that the industry has begun to take this issue seriously, because the health of players directly affects their career and performance. It is especially interesting that mental health is now also treated with great responsibility – this was not so obvious before. I think in the future, new programs and technologies will appear that will help maintain the health of players, and let’s hope that this will have a positive effect on the entire industry.
