Dose-Response Effect of Phosphatidylserine on eSport Performance
Sponsor: Lindenwood University
Summary
This study will evaluate the effects of daily phosphatidylserine supplementation on electronic gaming performance, cognitive function, sleep quality, stress-related outcomes, and autonomic responses in healthy adult gamers. Participants will be enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study and assigned to receive placebo, 100 mg phosphatidylserine, or 200 mg phosphatidylserine daily for 6 weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, Week 3, and Week 6 and will include electronic gaming performance, cognitive function, visual analog scale ratings, sleep quality questionnaires, hemodynamic responses, and heart rate variability. The study is designed to determine whether daily phosphatidylserine supplementation can improve performance and selected physiological and psychological outcomes during prolonged electronic gaming sessions.
