Relationship of Stress to Eating Habits of Administrative Employees and Faculty Members of Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Open University System

Abstract

Esports refers to competitive computer gaming, online athletics, and virtual
gaming. In recent years, the prevalence of Esports has increased dramatically.
As a result of the introduction of distinct competitive categories, electronic
games are now regarded as sports, or esports for short. However, many continue
to believe that esports should not be regarded as a sport due to their lack of
physicality. The objective of this quantitative study was to determine if there is
a difference in training between Esports and Competitive Physical Sports
athletes. One hundred thirteen (113) Competitive Physical Sports players and
eighty-three (83) Esports players from the Polytechnic University of the
Philippines were selected at random using simple random sampling to
participate in this study. The questionnaire was subdivided into two
subcategories: physical training created by the researchers and mental training
derived from the study of Carrani, et al (2021). The results of the study revealed
that athletes in esports "often" improve both their physical and mental
capabilities. Meanwhile, data indicates that athletes who compete in competitive
physical sports "almost always" train physically and mentally. In conclusion, the
findings of this study show that there is a significant difference between Esports
and Competitive Physical Sports athletes in terms of their training.
