Abstract

Due to the international prominence that eSports are acquiring, it is necessary to study their effects on human behavior. Specifically, the difference between the motor skills of players with different levels of experience. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to observe whether there are differences in hand accelerations (mouse handling) and digital reaction time between different skill levels. 21 subjects participated and were grouped according to their skill level (Low, Intermediate and Elite levels). The results showed greater hand accelerations in the Elite and Intermediate Skills players than Low-Skill players (p < 0.05). The hand-eye reaction time was lower in the Elite-Skill group than in the Low-Skill group (p = 0.008). Those with a Low-Skill had a higher dots per inch (DPI) than those with Intermediate and Elite Skills (p < 0.05). Elite-Skill players used larger screens than Low-Skill players (p = 0.034). The results suggest that players with better skills have better hand acceleration and shorter hand-eye reaction time.
