The psychophysiological status of e-athletes (a review)

Background. The structure of e-sports tournaments is comparable to that of traditional sports, and, therefore, e-athletes also need scientifically based performance enhancement. However, the technological development of e-sports is faster than the requirements for e-athletes, including their states, skills, and abilities that are an integral part of their psychophysiological status. In the absence of adequate data on the characteristics of e-athletes, the negative effects of their training and competitive activities cannot be prevented effectively.
