| Abstract | ||
| E-sports, encompassing online and offline activities as well as training classes, have experienced significant growth over the last decade. It is widely acknowledged that sports performance is multifaceted, resulting from the interaction of various factors such as physiological fitness, psychological preparedness, physical development, cultural awareness, nutrition, genetics, general health, and sociocultural influences. Recently, a new dimension—E-sports and distance sports—has emerged, characterized by its unique attributes. Both traditional sports and E-sports share a common foundation: they involve movements and activities that enhance health, both physically and mentally. This research will utilize principles and findings from a cognitive theory known as the Conceptual Integration Network (CIN) to analyze E-sports and assess the potential effectiveness of cognitive awareness for E-sport coaches and managers. CIN suggests basic relationships that allow for the analysis of various aspects of distance sports training. After collecting data from respondents who are active trainers in distance sports training in Iran, an analysis was conducted based on the inputs and outputs defined by CIN, focusing on essential relationships across different aspects of selected distance sports activities. The primary hypothesis of this interdisciplinary research is that CIN analysis can contribute to enhancing cognitive knowledge, education, and training in E-sports. | ||
