In order to bring your A-game, it is important to understand the physical burden and exertion that comes with the activity at hand–the same goes for esports. How does competitive gaming impacts the player's physical exertion and state? And what can we do about it? Here are the answers.

The longest any one should go is approximately the length of a 1v1 Starcraft ladder game. Take a break between games. Even during the games there are things one can do to optimize their state. The Bates Method "Rock//Sway" can be done during games. The neck problem mentioned in your article is solved via the Qigong elephant swing. Circulation gets badly hampered by sitting motionless... so never do that. Humans have 2 vessel-based circulation networks: lymph and blood. Humans have 5 others non-vessel based: Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Circulation, Interstitial Fluid Movement, Glymphatic System, Portal Circulations, Synovial Fluid Circulation. The Elephant Swing does a great job keeping all the fluids of these 7 systems moving nicely. Along with (1) proper posture and (b) movement mechanics .... (iii) keeping these systems circulating well helps prevent repetitive strain injuries. All these things are about movement. Sitting motionless, even for short time bursts, is unhealthy. Humans are the most sophisticated predators on earth and they are designed to be moving while simultaneously tracking the movement of everything around them. It is prolly no accident that humans find so many recreational sports to be fun. Humans also like playing games with other predators like cats and dogs of all sizes. Again, prolly no accident. Ok , enough serious talk. Now for something fun. Happy Intellivision Day! ! ! December 3, 1979 Mattel introduced the Intellivision.
