“…The results reflect the specific impact of the sport on the body of athletes (Podrigalo, OO, et al, 2019). Grushko et al (Grushko et al, 2021) conducted a comparative analysis of the perceptual-cognitive abilities of semi-professional esports athletes and professional football and basketball players. Esports athletes and athletes performed equally well on complex tests measuring attentional control, short-term and working spatial memory, attention distribution, reaction time, and hand-eye coordination.…”

“…Experts note the exceptional importance of control and development of reaction time in different sports (Campbell et al, 2018;Konings et al, 2008;Podrigalo, OO, et al, 2019;Sousa et al, 2020). Biofeedback methods have been proven to be effective in improving the performance of professional athletes in many sports (Podrigalo OO, et al, 2019;Grushko et al, 2021). In short track skating in particular, the fastest starting reaction combined with the starting technique, starting power and acceleration gives a significant advantage to the athlete.…”

Purpose: to conduct a comparative analysis of psychomotor abilities in athletes of cyclic sports (short track), martial arts (karate, taekwondo) and esports (CS:GO). Materials, participants and methods: The study involved athletes of percussion martial arts (n=10, age 18,9±0,12, candidates for master of sports), elite players of semi-professional CS:GO teams (n=10, age 19,2±0,50), short track speed skaters (n=10, age 19±0,09, masters of sports). The choice reaction time, the frequency of local movements (60-second tapping test), and the reaction time to a change in the size of the object (Size-test) were determined. Research results. Esports athletes have the best reaction time of choice and tapping test compared to other athletes. The wrestlers showed the best reaction to distinguishing the size of an object in the Size-Test. Skaters have high rates of complex reaction time and frequency of movements. The duration of the tapping test has a likely inverse relationship with the frequency of tapping. Conclusions. It was found that esports athletes have a significantly better choice reaction time (p<0,05) than martial arts athletes. The results of short track skaters do not have significant differences with martial arts and esports athletes (p>0.05). The results of the tapping test in terms of the total number of movements and the average number for 5 s in esports athletes tend to be higher compared to short track speed skaters and martial arts athletes. The fastest response time to a change in the size of an object in the Size-test was shown by martial arts athletes, the slowest by short-track skaters. This reflects the trend towards better results of this type of reaction in martial arts athletes compared to short track speed skaters and esports athletes.

“…To determine the features of the manifestation of these qualities, caused by the specifics of sports specialization, we studied the performance of highly qualified athletes. This design is quite common in sports science [14,17,18]. An analysis of the state of highly qualified athletes allows you to clearly determine the specifics of the influence of sports loads on the body, to find out what qualities are leading to success [17,19].…”

“…Comparison of the psychophysiological characteristics of athletes from different sports makes it possible to evaluate the qualitative characteristics of the influence of the specifics of a sport on the body of athletes and the ability to achieve a high result. The work [14] assessed the degree of similarity at the professional level of the perceptual-cognitive abilities of semi-professional cyber-athletes and professional football and basketball players. It has been established that esports and traditional team sports require similar levels of perceptual-cognitive abilities from professional athletes and can provide similar cognitive benefits.…”

Background and Study Aim. To carry out a comparative analysis of indicators of short-term visual memory in athletes of cyclic sports (short track), martial arts (karate, taekwondo) and esports (CS:GO). Material and Methods. The study involved athletes of percussion martial arts (n=13, age 18.8±0.52, experienced athletes), elite players of semi-professional CS:GO teams (n=10, age 19.2±0.50), short track speed skaters (n=12, age 19.1±0.25, experienced athletes). Short-term visual memory was determined using a special program for tablet computers running iOS. Results. Certain trends have been established regarding the characteristics of the state of the body of elite athletes in martial arts, short track and esports in terms of averaged indicators. In terms of the short-term visual memory coefficient and the average percentage of errors, martial arts athletes showed the best result, and short trackers showed the worst result. The shortest average test duration was recorded for short trackers. At certain stages of the test, they dominated athletes of other specializations in terms of reaction time. However, the trend towards faster response was associated with a decrease in the accuracy of the selection, that is, a greater percentage of errors. Cyberathletes and martial arts athletes were characterized by better adaptive abilities than short track athletes. Conclusions. The specificity of sports activities of cyberathletes determined the best results of the most difficult stage of the test both in terms of speed and accuracy. This criterion can be recommended for esports selection and prediction. The control of the cognitive functions of athletes is expedient in the course of monitoring their physical condition and is a promising direction for predicting the reliability and success of competitive activity.

In the dynamic landscape of e-sports, where intense competitive gaming demands high cognitive abilities, concentration performance and alternating attention play a pivotal role. E-sports encompass diverse genres, each requiring specific cognitive functions. Maintaining unwavering focus is crucial, as split-second decisions can determine victory. The study explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) training to enhance concentration performance and alternating attention, shedding light on the importance and possibilities of optimizing cognitive abilities for e-athletes. VR training emerges as a promising intervention, offering immersive environments for cognitive exercises. The study investigates the impact of VR training on concentration performance and alternating attention in amateur e-athletes, utilizing standardized tests. A randomized controlled trial with 66 participants reveals significant improvements in the VR training group, highlighting the adaptability and plasticity of cognitive processes. The findings suggest that VR training can enhance concentration abilities, providing valuable insights for e-sports and potentially extending to other fields requiring sustained attention and rapid task-switching. The study underscores the convergence of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and VR technology, paving the way for innovative training methodologies and advancements in e-sports performance.
