League of Legends study: cardio improves video game performance
While playing video games might not seem like the most physically demanding activity, new research out of McGill University suggests that when players exercise before playing a game, they play better.
A 15-minute bout of exercise was enough to boost video game performance, the study authors found. And most participants benefited from exercise, regardless of their fitness level or feelings about exercise.
For the study, 20 young video game users played the popular multiplayer computer game League of Legends — a strategic game that involves working with a team to take down an enemy using various weapons — on two separate days. One day, they completed a short bout of high-intensity cardiovascular exercise before playing, and the other day they rested before logging on. Researchers then assessed their performance and asked participants questions about how they felt during exercise.
