Among them, athletes’ Health problems are particularly prominent, and unhealthy lifestyles are not uncommon among many e-sports players and fans. This has brought a lot of negative effects to the long-term sustainable development of the entire e-sports industry.
Since e-sports was approved as a formal sports competition project by the State Sports General Administration in 2003, in recent years, under the active promotion of a series of policies, the e-sports industry has gradually developed in the direction of professionalism and standardization.
Today's e-sports has become a sports industry that integrates technology, sports, entertainment, and social networking. It covers game manufacturers, e-sports clubs, professional players, game commentary and live broadcast platforms, and has unique commercial attributes and market value.
At present, China's e-sports and game users exceed 500 million, and the market size exceeds 100 billion yuan. It is the world's largest e-sports market.
The occupational health of e-sports has become a major factor hindering the sound development of the e-sports industry.
"Good occupational health creates a good professional life and a more promising industry development." He Guili said that occupational health, as an important part of "Healthy China", is also an important guarantee for the sustainable development of the e-sports industry, which requires the entire industry Pay more attention and come up with practical solutions.
Xu Ruzao, chairman of the Shanghai Dynamic House E-sports Club, said that the intensive and fierce competition in e-sports requires players to train harder in a limited sports career, which is prone to psychological exhaustion and physical damage.
"It is very necessary for e-sports athletes to maintain a good physical condition and learn some skills to adjust their own psychology. I hope that relevant departments can carry out professional research on e-sports sports health and sports science. This is the common demand of current e-sports clubs."
At the meeting, a joint laboratory for health e-sports was launched, and experts, scholars and professional institutions will be organized to conduct special research and practice on the occupational health problems faced by young people in e-sports, and explore new paths for the development of e-sports from a health perspective.
