"This book teaches strength and conditioning specialists and related practitioners how to assess and train esport athletes to improve their health and well-being, increase their longevity in the sport, and, ultimately, become better players. It discusses how traditional sport training and conditioning practices can be transferred and applied to esports, including the importance of physical training, healthy eating and sleeping practices, and mental health care for cognitive and physical development. It also covers specific injuries that are common amongst esport athletes, how to reduce their incidence, how to recognize them when they do occur, and available care strategies, such as corrective exercises"-- Provided by publisher.
