Physiological synchrony in elite esports matches driven by competitive motivation
Although physiological synchrony (PS) is well documented in cooperative settings, recent research indicates that it can also arise in competitive interactions. However, the factors that shape PS under competitive conditions remain unclear. In one-on-one esports, two psychological factors appear central—the drive to defeat an opponent and ability to track and understand the evolving game situation—both of which tend to increase with expertise. To …
Task context and player expertise modulate arm EMG linked to win-loss outcomes in esports
Explicit task cues and motivational context shape motor performance, yet the influence in naturalistic competitive settings remains underexplored. Laboratory tasks typically use discrete cues and monetary rewards, while real-world competition is driven by dynamic state feedback and win-loss incentives. Expertise modulates adaptability in these competitive contexts. Nevertheless, whether naturalistic explicit task cues and motivation alter the mus…
Prediction of esports competition outcomes using EEG data from expert players
Considerable efforts have focused on predicting sports event outcomes to enhance spectating, coaching, and betting. However, accurately predicting match results across various competitive scenes is challenging. Many researchers have achieved reasonable prediction accuracy using machine learning (ML) models and static data, such as player statistics up to the last match, to perform binary win/loss classification. However, the inherent uncertainty …
Virtual reality perceptual training can improve the temporal discrimination ability of swinging during softball batting
Perception and action uncoupling in fastball sports anticipatory training is often criticized. Nevertheless, perception-only training offers distinct advantages, such as flexibility concerning time, place, and injury limitations. Therefore, the effectiveness of this training approach warrants evaluation. This study developed a virtual reality (VR) training system based on the idea that the two visual pathways in the brain are associated with visu…
Simplified Virtual Reality System Can Be Used to Evaluate the Temporal Discrimination Ability in Softball Batting as in the Real Environment
Recently, virtual reality (VR) technology has developed rapidly and has increasingly come to be used in the sports field. VR technology ranges from large, highly immersive devices to simple devices such as smartphones, and the respective usefulness and shortcomings of different device types have been debated. Simple devices have advantages such as portability, but also provide only a weak sense of realism. It is important to understand the purpos…
Positive Relationship Between Precompetitive Sympathetic Predominance and Competitive Performance in Elite Extreme Sports Athletes
Elite athletes achieve superior performance under high pressure in competitive situations. Although it is known that such situations affect the precompetitive activity of their autonomic nervous system (ANS), the relationship between precompetitive ANS activity and performance remains controversial. Especially in extreme sports, it has been shown that cardiac sympathetic tone occurs in athletes before competition attempts. However, the relationsh…
Walking and talking independently predict interpersonal impressions
Eye and Head Movements of Elite Baseball Players in Real Batting
In baseball, batters swing in response to a ball moving at high speed within a limited amount of time-about 0. 5 s. In order to make such movement possible, quick and accurate trajectory prediction followed by accurate swing motion with optimal body-eye coordination is considered essential, but the mechanisms involved are not clearly understood. The present study aims to clarify the strategies of eye and head movements adopted by elite baseball b…
Temporally Coupled Coordination of Eye and Body Movements in Baseball Batting for a Wide Range of Ball Speeds
We investigated the visuomotor strategies of baseball batting, in particular, the relationship between eye and body (head and hip) movements during batting for a wide range of ball speeds. Nine college baseball players participated in the experiment and hit balls projected by a pitching machine operating at four different ball speeds (80, 100, 120, 140 km/h). Eye movements were measured with a wearable eye tracker, and body movements were measure…
Behavioral Measures in a Cognitive-Motor Batting Task Explain Real Game Performance of Top Athletes
Excellent athletic performance in baseball and softball batting is achieved through the momentary cognitive-motor processes. However, in previous studies, cognitive and motor processes are investigated separately. In this study, we focused on the difference in the time of swing onset (a delta onset) during a batting task where 17 elite female softball batters hit balls randomly thrown at two different speeds by pitchers. The delta onset included …
