Abstract

E-sport including online and offline sport activities and classes have been developed increasingly in the last decade. Several researches have been done in his area to analyze and improve sport training and education via distance learning by different applications. One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is due to COVID period which restricted most normal activities to online ones. E-sport could be studied in two categories: one is computer sport games and the other is teaching and training sport by camera and applications. This research is about the second category or distance sport. E-sport has been studied from different aspects in the recent years including, cultural, economic, social and political dimensions. This research will apply findings of a cognitive theory namely Conceptual Integration Network(CIN) to the analysis of E-sport to find out about the possible efficiency of cognitive awareness for E-sport coaches and managers. There are some basic relations suggested in CIN by which an analysis of different aspects of distance sport can be implemented. After data collections from the respondents who are trainers in distance sport training in Tehran, an analysis was made correspondent to CIN inputs and output and also based on the vital relations in distance sport. The main question of this interdisciplinary research is that if CIN analysis can be applicable to the improvement of E-sport cognitive knowledge and education.
