Unlike traditional athletes, esports athletes face unique recovery demands due to prolonged screen exposure, sedentary behavior, and intense cognitive engagement. This chapter explores evidence-based strategies that support physical and mental recovery, including nutrient timing, anti-inflammatory meal plans, active mobility exercises, and sleep-enhancing technologies. Practical insights from professional teams such as Team Liquid, Astralis, and Cloud9 are presented alongside examples from amateur players. The role of omega-3 fatty acids, hydration, stretching, and digital tools like Oura Ring and Headspace is discussed to provide a holistic framework for sustainable performance and recovery in competitive gaming. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessActive RecoveryCognitive PerformanceEsportsHydrationMeal PlanningNutritionRecoverySleepStress ManagementWearable TechnologyBook PartN/AN/A79102
