The potential of physiological monitoring technologies in esports
2020
Esports is a rapidly growing sector with increasing investment and large-scale international tournaments offering significant prize pools. This has led to a greater focus on individual and team performance with factors such as communication and team intelligence identified as important for success. Over a similar time period, monitoring technologies have become commonplace with clinical grade assessment available in a number of parameters that have evidenced utility. Despite this, physiological monitoring is not routine within esports. In this scoping review, we explore the options available for esports organisations and the potential barriers to implementation. A model for effective integration of these tools has been devised to mitigate the wastage of resources and increase collaboration between academia, healthcare professionals esports organisations and industry. We expect that in the near future, monitoring devices will become an essential part of performance assessment, enhancement, injury prevention and general management for players and esports teams.
