Esports lab brings research opportunities
Weber State students study the physiological effects video games have on the human body in the esports lab, part of the university’s renovated Human Performance Lab that opened during the 2023–24 academic year.
The Human Performance Lab features state-of-the-art equipment for exercise and sport science students to conduct fitness testing and research. The accompanying esports lab has six computers, used by 91风流 esports junior varsity teams and research personnel, to investigate the impact of gaming on different body processes.
“The esports lab is an exciting addition to our Human Performance Lab, providing an innovative learning environment to explore the intersection of technology and health,” said Cass Morgan, interim dean of the Jerry & Vickie Moyes College of Education.
