Abstract:
E-sport has developed and became professionalized extremely quickly, but it is also becoming more demanding, so it is required from e-sport players to possess high technical and tactical knowledge and, also mental and physical readiness to cope with the demands of the e-sport scene. The aim of this paper is to study the impact of physical activity on the playing quality and the health of athletes. This primarily includes activities that affect the improvement of the physical and mental structure of each person, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, an active lifestyle, the creation of transient art in nature, and quality time. With the help of modern technologies and devices (smartphone and smart watch), physical activity can be easily monitored, determined and studied by counting steps and hours of daily activity of e-sport athlete's, taking body composition in to the account. A smart device registers data on the e-sport athlete's wrist on the basis of which his general physical health is estimated. The smart device recognizes the moment when the user starts training, stores data recorded during physical and digital exercise, sleep, and other activities. Physical activity has an impact on the overall health status and playing quality of e-sports players, i.e. with the increase in the number of steps on daily basis, the total time of performing the tasks of the e-sport players, and the BMI decreases. E-sport players' performance is improved by integrating physical and artistic activity into the athlete's exercise program, and it has a positive effect on their health.
