Esports
With the rise in popularity of Esports, there is an increase in health risks associated with competitive gameplay. We recognize these health effects and can provide guidelines for safe and healthy gaming.
USCAH Education Packages
The video game industry has grown exponentially since its commercialization in the 1970s, with the popularity of video games creating opportunities for gamers to play casually, stream, compete and create viable careers. With the increase of gaming, however, there also is an increase in health risks associated with extended gameplay.
U.S. Council for Athletes’ Health (USCAH) recognizes these health effects and is working diligently to provide guidelines for safe and healthy gaming. USCAH has created customized educational programming tailored specifically for gamers on our e-learning platform - Athletics Healthspace - to meet this growing need for education. Athletics Healthspace houses a growing library of more than 170 courses that can be customized by audience and completed via the website or mobile app.
Gamers, coaches, support staff, and administrators should all have at least a baseline understanding of health, safety and welfare issues that are common in Esports.
