Abstrakt: Study purpose. The study purpose was to investigate and analyze the indicators of functional asymmetry in different sportsmanship level esports athletes. Materials and methods. The study involved 20 middle-aged athletes (18±1.53 years old) divided into two groups according to their sportsmanship level. Group 1: elite players of semi-professional teams in CS:GO and DOTA 2 disciplines, n=10, aged 19.2±0.50 years. Group 2: amateur CS:GO and DOTA 2 players, n=10, aged 18.2±1.04 years. The functional asymmetry of the movements of the upper limbs was determined using a special program for tablet computers running iOS developed at the departments of martial arts, computer science and biomechanics of KhSAPC. Results. It was established that, in terms of the number of clicks per unit of time, elite esports athletes are outperformed by amateurs by 5.54% on the left hand and by 5.14% on the right hand; in terms of visual motor reaction time, elite esports athletes prevail by 5.54% on the left hand and by 5.07% on the right hand; elite esports athletes showed a 13.3% shorter left-hand click duration, but amateurs showed a 6.83% shorter right-hand click duration. Conclusions. Players with a higher level of preparedness tend to have less asymmetrical movements. In the proposed test, elite athletes demonstrate a greater number of movements per unit of time; at the 2nd stage of testing, the differences are significant (p<0.05). At the same time, the reaction time of more skilled players is less than that of amateurs; at the 2nd and 4th stages of the test, the differences are significant (p<0.05). Indicators of functional asymmetry of movements of the upper limbs informatively characterize the level of preparedness of esports athletes and can be included in the program for monitoring the physical condition of players in esports.
