Wrist extensor fatigue and game-genre-specific kinematic changes in esports athletes: a quasi-experimental study

The findings indicate a progressive increase in wrist extensor fatigue over time, whereas wrist kinematics vary by video game genre but remain unaffected by time. The lack of neuromuscular recovery post-break suggests the potential for cumulative muscular fatigue. These repetitive loads could increase the risk of MSD. Therefore, implementing preventive training strategies and regular active breaks may help mitigate these effects in esports athletes.
