This cross-sectional study aimed to provide a…

The Sedentary-Stress Paradox in Esports: Neuroendocrine, Metabolic, and Endothelial Pathways to Cardiovascular Risk.

Tero-Vescan A, Ștefănescu R, Ősz BE et al.International journal of molecular sciences

Esports and gaming resemble traditional sports and physical activity because both involve sustained cognitive and emotional stress; however, this stress occurs against a background of prolonged sedentary behavior. This narrative review examines the neuroendocrine, metabolic, and endothelial consequences of this "stress without movement"…

Beyond Frequency: Generative AI Engagement Quality, Psychological Well-Being, and Digital Inequality Among Chinese University Students.

Cao Z, Zhai Y, Zheng RBehavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland)

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is now embedded in university students' academic and everyday lives, yet frequency-based measures provide limited insight into why similar levels of use are associated with different psychological well-being outcomes.
