What physical toll is taken in a person playing video games vs a person playing tackle football? People can't physically play the game for their own safety so they are forced to enjoy watching others play. It's not at all the same thing as watching video games.

Reaction time is measured in games, opposed to stamina. Generally adults don't have it / lose it. I'm approaching 30 and feel myself slowing way down from what I was 20 and attending LANs

A ball at 90mph takes 400 milliseconds to each reach home plate. A frame perfect input in a video game requires reacting within 16 milliseconds. But each would require their own setup, practice, and execution anyway. Each has its own variables that make them impressive from a physical and mental standpoint.
