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 …
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…
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 …
