Visual Training Effects in Esports Players

This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the acute effects of a single session of web-based visual training on balance, reaction time, and cognitive function in professional e-sports players. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a web-based visual training group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a single approximately 25-minute session including eye relaxation, eye movement exercises, convergence-divergence, accommodation, figure-ground perception, and visual attention exercises. The control group will receive no intervention. Balance, reaction time, and cognitive function will be assessed at baseline and immediately after the intervention.

Treatment and study plan

Web-Based Visual Training

Behavioral

Participants received a single session of web-based visual training lasting approximately 25 minutes. The session included eye relaxation, eye movement exercises, convergence-divergence, accommodation, figure-ground perception, and visual attention exercises.

Primary outcomes

  1. Reaction Time

    Time frame: Baseline and immediately post-intervention

    Reaction time will be measured using an LED-based system. The average reaction time (ms) and the number of correct responses will be recorded.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Balance

    Time frame: Baseline and immediately post-intervention

    Balance will be assessed using the One-Leg Balance Test. The duration of maintaining single-leg stance will be recorded.

  2. Cognitive Function

    Time frame: Baseline and immediately post-intervention

    Cognitive function will be assessed through selective attention performance during the LED-based reaction task. The number of correct responses will be recorded.
