Clinical Sports Medicine by Haupt S, 3, Wolf A, Heidenreich H, Schmidt W

“…In contrast, VO2 and EE were about three times higher during cycling (VO2 ergometer: 0.72 L/min, eSports: 0.28 L/min; EE ergometer: 3.55 kcal/min, eSports: 1.38 kJ/min). Blood glucose slightly increased during eSports (+0.7 mmol/L) while it decreased during cycling (-2.2 mmol/L).Conclusion: During eSports, elevated HR is not related to EE as is the case during dynamic exercise. eSports, therefore, represents a pure mental stress response, which is supported by the opposite behavior of the glucose concentration in eSports compared to physical exercise.Key Words: Oxygen Consumption, Cardiovascular System, Heart Rate, Video Game, Exercise Intensity…”
