“…Thus, eSports gamers have reason to be motivated to improve cognitive function. Reaction time (RT), or the time interval between a stimulus and the response to it (Radák, 2018), plays a vital role for eSports gamers (Bediou et al, 2018;Pallavicini et al, 2018); delays in RT and processing speed often generate negative consequences during gaming (e.g. less competitive advantage, lower percentage of game wins, etc.)…”

eSports gaming requires quick and accurate reactions in response to complex visual stimuli for optimal performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between components of physical fitness and reaction time (RT) in eSports gamers. 27 eSports gamers participated. Visit 1 included physical fitness assessments. Visit 2 included a familiarization with the Stroop Task. During Visit 3, subjects completed the Stroop Task again; data from this visit was used for analyses. For congruent, incongruent and control trials, an inverse efficiency score (IES) was calculated. Pearson correlations were used to determine the relationship between components of physical fitness and mean RT. There was a significant correlation between mean RT and cardiorespiratory fitness (r=-.338, p=.043). IES was significantly related to cardiorespiratory fitness in incongruent (r=-.373, p=.028) and control (r=-.333, p=.045) trials. Results suggest that increased cardiorespiratory fitness can improve reaction time and also induce greater efficiency.
