Can exercise actually make you a better gamer? I spent 4 years testing that question. It led to a full PhD and a deeper understanding of esports health and performance than we’ve ever had before. All three studies are now published and linked in my bio. If you’re into esports

Big shoutout to Dr Dylan Poulus on leading the published protocol for the Esports Mental Health Guidelines project! 🙌🏻 Massive step forward for supporting mental health in esports. Honoured to be working on this with such a great team.

How active are esports athletes? We surveyed almost 800 players about how much physical activity they do each week, then tracked a smaller group using wearables. Most players reported that they were meeting the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity

Are E’athletes as active as they think? We surveyed 800 esports athletes and then tracked some with wearables. 🟩 Self-reported: 33.2 mins/day 🟥 Tracked: 18.2 mins/day That’s a big gap and a big opportunity to improve performance and wellbeing through movement. Full study in

Do any of the esports coaches or players who follow me use wearables to track health metrics? If so what do you do with the data? Curious to hear what is being used in esports! Examples: Apple Watches, WHOOP bands, Garmin, Oura rings, FitBits, etc. ⌚️🏥
