In this chapter, the effects of performance-enhancing dietary supplements in the rapidly growing field of esports are examined in light of scientific evidence; nutrition strategies that influence players’ cognitive performance, attention span, reaction time, and overall health are evaluated. Evidence-based recommendations are presented on the use of supplements frequently preferred by esports athletes, such as caffeine, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin and mineral preparations.
The book stands out as one of the first comprehensive academic resources addressing the physical and cognitive demands of esports and serves as a key reference for sports dietitians, esports coaches, health-science researchers, and industry professionals.
