eSports have undergone a remarkable evolution, transforming from a niche phenomenon into a mainstream industry capable of attracting multimillion-dollar investments, global sponsorships, and a steadily growing audience.

Capital flows in from multiple[…]

In the multifaceted universe of Sci-Fi, sports rarely occupy a marginal role. On the contrary, they often serve as social metaphors—distorted mirrors of our physical obsessions, present-day fixations, and technological excesses. Whether in post-apocalyptic competitions or hybrid disciplines between man and machine, the imagined future crafted by creators of artificial worlds still places the human body at the center. Futuristic Sports: Technology, Violence, and Spectacle Since the early days of the genre, sports in Sci-Fi have been portrayed through extreme, spectacular, and often unsettling lenses. Let’s begin our journey in 1975 with Rollerball, a film where a[…]

In sports — and more broadly in the realm of physical well-being — prevention is a key concept. While training, rest, and posture have long been at the center of attention, the role of nutrition in reducing the risk of injury is still, in part, underestimated. Yet nutrition represents one of the most important elements in supporting the structural integrity of our bodies. But is there truly a diet that helps prevent injuries? Muscles and Joints: A Matter of Nutritional Balance To understand the link between diet and injury prevention, we must start with the physiology of[…]

“Mens sana in corpore sano,” a saying dating back to Ancient Rome, was born in a cultural and historical context quite different from our own—yet it remains strikingly relevant today. What does this expression truly mean in our time? And more importantly, how has contemporary science—particularly neuroscience—reinterpreted this ancient symbiosis between movement and mental health? From Latin Wisdom to Modern Science Attributed to the poet Juvenal, the expression reflected a philosophical worldview in which the balance between mind and body was considered essential to a virtuous life. Today, in modern society, this ancient maxim is undergoing a[…]

In the pantheon of legendary athletes, the most celebrated feats are often the flawless ones. A perfectly executed move, a trajectory calculated to the millimeter, a record broken with surgical precision. But beyond the shining trophies and the chronicles of triumphs, there lies a dimension perhaps less radiant, yet undeniably more truthful. It is the realm of failure — of error, of the moment when the body betrays intention. And it is precisely there, in the imperfect detail, that sport becomes poetry. The Aesthetics of Stumbling We live in an era obsessed with results, where people treat mistakes as[…]

But how much of this massive financial engine actually flows back into the sports sector? And who captures the rest? A Billion-Euro Business: Market Size and Growth According to data from the European Gaming and Betting Association, the European market for legal sports betting generated over €30 billion[…]

In a fraction of a second, a professional tennis player decides where to hit the ball—just as a goalkeeper anticipates the trajectory of a penalty kick. Many athletes report experiencing these crucial sports moments as if time were slowing down. A perception that might seem subjective or adrenaline-induced, but is in fact the focus of numerous neuroscientific studies. When under significant cognitive or emotional pressure, the athlete’s brain appears capable of processing information more quickly, creating the impression that external events unfold more slowly than usual. But what actually happens in the brain when time seems to[…]
