We are looking for research participants!
Do you play Counter-Strike 2 or Valorant? Are you interested in factors that influence your in-game performance and ways to improve it? Jamk University of Applied Sciences and University of Jyväskylä are seeking participants for a study comparing the effects of different types of physical warm-ups on in-game aiming performance.

The research examines how different warm-up types affect aiming performance in first-person shooter (FPS) games. By participating, you’ll engage in a brief physical warm-up and test your aiming performance in the facilities of GamePit Pro, located in the Jamk main campus. The non-invasive study includes six measurement sessions, each lasting about an hour, over a three-to-four-week period.
If you’re interested, join the study and the researcher to uncover the factors that affect performance in esports! Enrollments via the attached Webropol form.
