“…Psychological Benefits. Among the factors motivating young adults to play eSports (novelty, escapism, aesthetic, and achievement) [28], the respondents in our study were driven by novelty and curiosity. They regarded trying something new (eSports) as a stereotype-breaking (eSports is not suitable for older adults but youngsters), self-affirmative, and enjoyable (happiness and fun) process.…”

The HK Special Administrative Region Government has been making efforts to promote active aging among older adults. This qualitative study is aimed at gaining an understanding of the perception of and experiences in eSports among middle-aged and older adults in HK, China, using the Theory of Planned Behavior. Thirty-nine adults aged >45 years were stratified by (a) whether they had experience of participating in eSports and (b) age (i.e., 45–64 years vs. ≥65 years). In addition, 10 administrators working in community centres for middle-aged and older adults were invited for a semistructured interview. The results revealed the pertinent themes of (a) behavioral beliefs (physical benefits (enhanced physical activity levels, body coordination, and cognition), social benefits (increased interactions and team communication and enlarged social circle), psychological benefits (stereotype breaking, sense of recognition, enjoyment, and improved mood), and adverse health effects (psychological intensity, frustration, obsession with winning, overuse strain, and sleep disturbance)), (b) normative beliefs (support and encouragement from family and nonfamily members), and (c) control beliefs (game content, program personnel attitude, resource availability (venue, equipment, and manpower), administrators’ perspectives, and support from the industry). The study results will be instrumental to the development of related interventions and instruments for middle-aged and older adults, will enable researchers to explore the benefits of eSports programs for the studied population, and will promote healthy and active aging in the long term.

It also faces many challenges that are reflected in the performance of the participants of the sports events [5]. As the support and the cheering from the crowd audience act as the key encouragement in providing confidence, it can also make the supporting participant get demotivated and get distracted from the way to success.…”

The esports market has been growing exponentially has been growing exponentially with much interest from industry and academia. Perhaps because of this growth, there is a lack of agreement on what esports actually encompasses. We conducted a systematic review of 461 peer reviewed, full papers that provide a definition of esports. Findings highlighted the growth of the esports field across different domains, and increasing global interest in esports, but a lack of consensus regarding definition of the term. Through thematic analysis we identified nine dimensions across esports definitions. We critically assess these dimensions in terms of their representativeness and utility in describing the multifaceted nature of esports. Our work may help create a shared understanding of what esports is- and is not-capturing a diversity of experiences within organized competitive gaming and supporting continued research growth in this increasingly important domain.
