Multidisciplinary Health Monitoring for Esports Players
Sponsor: Yeditepe University
Summary
This study aims to develop a holistic, multidisciplinary health monitoring/screening module that evaluates the health and performance parameters of esports players, and to apply and assess the effectiveness of an individualized multidisciplinary preventive intervention program (PIP) based on the screening findings. Esports players are frequently exposed to prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, high screen time, and irregular lifestyle habits, which can lead to musculoskeletal problems, visual strain, increased cardiovascular load, sleep disturbances, and psychological effects. Comprehensive, systematic, and multidisciplinary screening models addressing these risks remain limited in the literature. Amateur and/or professional players from the Yeditepe University Esports Club will undergo a multidimensional baseline assessment covering cardiovascular and respiratory parameters, musculoskeletal analysis, visual strain, nutritional status, cognitive function, and mental status. Participants will then be allocated to a control group or an intervention group. The intervention group will complete a 12-week individualized preventive exercise protocol in addition to their usual training, while the control group continues their usual training routine. All measurements will be repeated after 12 weeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.

Multidisciplinary Preventive Exercise Program
A 12-week individualized program delivered 2 days per week, integrated into gameplay as a 5-minute exercise block during the 10-minute break following each 45-minute play session. Three components: (1) dynamic stretching and mobility (thoracic extension, hip swings, pectoralis dynamic stretches; 2 sets x 10 reps each); (2) strength and endurance (craniocervical flexion 2x15 with 10-sec holds, plank 3x15 sec, isometric wrist extension 3x45 sec at 30% MVIC, air squats 3x12); (3) vestibular and visual training (quiet eye training 2x15, letter-tracking, and sport-specific VOR training 3x20 sec each).
