does physical fitness impact SC performance?

[Dreadlord Proletius]

like do muscular dudes play faster or can focus better or do you think it matters?

[Tryndamere]

Rather than being extremely muscular, being healthy and in good shape can really help playing better because remember that a healthy mind needs a healthy body.

idk ask diabetes type 2 Riddick maybe it explains why he sucks in this game

There was a documentary on professional StarCraft players.  They have a gym routine.  I think to some extent it is reasonable to say that it plays a role.  If you have a hard time sitting there just breathing then something tells me you probably wont be doing well playing lol.  I think people that are extremely fit though do not have an advantage.

Who tf is breathing like a walrus

I notice a big difference.

When i'm overworked, tired and high, it feels like i'm just playing on autopilot to the point it becomes tunnel vision. It doesn't help that my laptop/chair set up is uncomfortable, Hence I can't play long games.

When I sleep well, not overworking and sober I feel like I can multitask better and enjoy longer games.

personally on my experience playing scw, i noticed that I play worse when:
1. Im stressed due to family's or work's issues, or
2. On live tournaments i feel sometimes nervous
3. tired or sleepy

So i think based on my experience that physical fitness doesn't impact on sc performance rather that the points i mentioned.

any form of workout will help you play better solely by an increase of endorphins

higher endorphins = feel better = more confidence = less stress = better play = viperclass is gay

playing starcraft after a workout might actually impede on your ability to play your best. If an exercise requires a certain degree of grip you can impede on your ability to accurately and precisely use your mouse or keyboard for a fair bit. Overall fitness won't improve your physical playing ability but will improve your longevity.

But there are benefits to working out that might improve your mental state and that could result in improved performance.

There's some ways exercise can affect your brain however:

100% true and you can go further, healthy food which boost your mental proces and if you want to go even further explore the Quantum life, where do your blockages lie, like fear and doubt. if u want to heal that then dig deep in your (childhood) traumas and rewrite your mental patterns. how to do that? just start searching <3

I personally believe that physical fitness or appearance don't affect your performance because it's more about your mental capacity and there's alot of smart fatties in our world. We've seen some of the usernames like Think-Fast which very much relates to these types of strategy games!

Diet important

[RJBTV]

If you really want to improve your performance through something physical it has been proven good sleeping habits and schedules will net you the biggest gain in addition to goal oriented practice.
