High risk players showed significantly higher LF/HF ratio relative to low risk players regardless of game phase, and LF/HF measured over the whole gameplay was predicted only by CIAS-R.

Why the study?

Previous studies showed abnormal autonomic activity in internet gaming disorder, but whether and how in-game autonomic activity is modulated by player characteristics and behavioral performance remained unclear.

Does the risk of internet gaming disorder and in-game performance modulate heart rate variability during online video game playing in male habitual gamers?

Population

42 male university student habitual gamers

Comparison

High risk vs low risk of developing IGD assessed by CIAS-R

Overview

Player traits may shape in-game HRV; leaves open whether findings extend to IGD or alter clinical risk assessment.

Structured PICO

Does the risk of internet gaming disorder and in-game performance modulate heart rate variability during online video game playing in male habitual gamers?

Population

42 male university student habitual gamers (HGs)

Intervention

Playing a round of League of Legends game online

Comparator

Low risk of developing internet gaming disorder (IGD) as assessed by revised Chen Internet addiction scale (CIAS-R)

Outcome

Short-term heart rate variability (HRV) indices (including LF/HF ratio) measured in early, middle and late phases of the gamesurrogate

The risk of developing internet gaming disorder is associated with dysregulated autonomic balance (higher LF/HF ratio) during gameplay in habitual gamers.
