It is known that exercise has the effect of improving memory , and it is said that 'exercise has a positive effect on the brain.' A research team at McGill University in Canada reports that such an exercise also has 'the effect of making the game better'.

The research team asked 20 young gamers, who were the subjects, to play the game after doing 'intense exercise' and investigated how the exercise affected the skill of the game. Each subject undergoes high-intensity interval training , also known as 'Tabata', and then plays a custom mode of 'Compete for the number of defeated targets and attack accuracy' in League of Legends and records the results. Did. In addition, as a control group , we asked the same subject to take a rest for the same amount of time as the exercise time, and then played the game, and recorded the results.

In the custom mode that the subject played, the target is set to 'defeat with one attack', and the research team is set to 'defeat with one attack' per play in order to check the attack accuracy of the subject. The number of targets that weren't there 'was counted. As a result, it was found that an average of 1.39 targets could not be defeated by one attack when playing after exercise, and an average of 2.44 targets when playing after rest. This result shows that the attack accuracy was low in the play after rest, so the number of targets that could not be defeated in one attack was large. In addition, the average number of defeated targets per play was 121.17 after exercise and 111.38 after rest.
From these results, the research team concludes that 'exercise improves the performance of video games.' In addition, the performance of subjects who are not in good physical condition or who are not motivated to exercise has also improved, so the research team said, 'No matter what emotions the subject shows toward exercise during the experiment, what is the effect of improving performance? It doesn't matter. '

Since both video games and exercise are done in leisure time, there has been criticism that 'if you are absorbed in video games, you will not spend time on exercise'. 'I think the results of this study will motivate gamers who tend to sit down to exercise,' said Dr. Mark Roig, who led the research team. In the future, the research team will investigate the question, 'Does exercise other than high-intensity interval training improve the performance of the game?' 'Can we see the effect of improving performance in games other than League of Legends?'
