Clinical Trial Summary

Electronic sports (Esports) has become a branch that started to gain popularity in the gaming community in the early 2000s and that more and more individuals are interested in. Esports players are often called sedentary athletes because gaming requires prolonged sedentary activity. The aim of this study is to adapt the Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire to individuals playing Esports and to validate it in Turkish.

Description:

Electronic sports (Esports) has become a branch that started to gain popularity in the gaming community in the early 2000s and that more and more individuals are interested in. Esports players are often called sedentary athletes because gaming requires prolonged sedentary activity. Although studies have examined the physical activity levels of Esports players with questionnaires, they emphasize that the results may be more variable because they do not control for potential confounding factors such as gender, age, game type, and performance level. Among the questionnaires used in the studies, there was no study evaluating the player-specific physical activity level. Therefore, the aim of this study is to validate the Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire in individuals playing Esports. Individuals aged 12-24, who play computer games 3-4 times a week for 2-4 hours professionally or 7-14 hours a week as an amateur, and have the ability to read and understand Turkish will be included in the study. Individuals with severe physical limitations that prevent physical activity and individuals with cognitive impairment will be excluded from the study. Correlation of the scale with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form for construct validity, Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form (YİBT-SF) and Buss-Perry Aggression Scale will be tested, respectively. In order to determine the test-retest reliability of the Turkish version of the scale, individuals will be asked to fill in the scale again 7-14 days after they first filled out the scale.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire (OSPAQ)	Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire; It is a short scale that records the proportion of working time spent sitting, standing, walking, and doing heavy work, and the total time worked in the last five working days. Participants will be asked to indicate the percentage of time they spend on these activities in a day. All percentages specified by participants for sitting, standing, walking and heavy work activities will be added up.	Baseline (First assessment)
Secondary	Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire (OSPAQ)	Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire; It is a short scale that records the proportion of working time spent sitting, standing, walking, and doing heavy work, and the total time worked in the last five working days. Participants will be asked to indicate the percentage of time they spend on these activities in a day. All percentages specified by participants for sitting, standing, walking and heavy work activities will be added up.	Within a 7-to-14-day period after the first assessment (Second assessment)
Secondary	International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-Short Form)	IPAQ was developed to measure the health and physical activity levels of the society. This global scale allows the assessment of physical activity. The short version provides information about the time spent walking, moderate and vigorous activities, and sedentary activities. Outcome evaluation is carried out by reporting weekly activity duration with an estimation of MET energy expenditure for each activity category.	Baseline (First assessment)
Secondary	Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	The VAS is a pain assessment scale using a 10 cm line graded as "no pain" 0 points and "worst pain imaginable" 10 points.	Baseline (First assessment)
Secondary	Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form (YIBT-SF)	The YIBT-SF, which measures internet addiction, consists of 12 items and is a five-point Likert scale (1=Never, 5=Very often).	Baseline (First assessment)
Secondary	Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire	It is an aggression assessment scale consisting of 34 items. The situations described in the items question five sub-forms of aggression (physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, hostility, and indirect aggression). It is a five-point Likert-type self-rating scale.	Baseline (First assessment)
