The Effects of Chewing Gum on Esports Players
Previous studies have indicated a link between chewing gum and reducing stress due to the physiological release of certain hormones. Additionally, at least one recent study has indicated heightened anxiety and stress related to competitive esports play. The study’s goals were to examine the relationships between chewing gum and playing esports, with a focus toward anxiety reduction and gaming performance. Results include statistically significant results post treatment with regard to reduced anxiety and player perceptions of increased performance and confidence in their skills. Age, gender and gamer level were not contributing factors.
