ความตั้งใจเป็นทักษะที่สำคัญในการเล่นกีฬาอีสปอร์ตโดยส่งผลต่อการตัดสินใจ เวลาปฏิกิริยา และทักษะอื่น ๆ ที่เกี่ยวข้อง ตลอดจนถึงความสามารถในการเล่นเกมโดยรวม จึงเป็นไปได้ว่าการพัฒนาความสามารถด้านความตั้งใจอาจส่งผลต่อประสิทธิภาพในการเล่นกีฬาอีสปอร์ตได้การวิจัยในครั้งนี้จึงมุ่งศึกษาลักษณะความสามารถความตั้งใจในกีฬาอีสปอร์ต โดยแบ่งเป็นสองการศึกษา ดังนี้การศึกษาที่ 1 มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อเปรียบเทียบความสามารถความตั้งใจระหว่างนักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตมืออาชีพและผู้เล่นอีสปอร์ตระดับมหาวิทยาลัย โดยทำการทดสอบความสามารถด้านความตั้งใจในนักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตมืออาชีพ 8 คนและผู้เล่นอีสปอร์ตระดับมหาวิทยาลัย 8 คนจากนักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตประเภทโมบา(MOBA) โดยใช้การทดสอบความตั้งใจแบบกระพริบ ทดสอบการค้นหาด้วยสายตา และการตอบสนองต่อสัญญาณไฟปฏิกิริยา ผลการทดลองพบว่ากลุ่มนักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตมืออาชีพมีอัตราการตอบสนองถูกต้องสูงกว่าอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติในการทดสอบความตั้งใจแบบกระพริบ (p = .033) และมีเวลาปฏิกิริยาตอบสนองเร็วกว่าอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติในการทดสอบการค้นหาด้วยสายตา (p = .002) ในส่วนของการทดสอบตอบสนองต่อสัญญาณไฟปฏิกิริยาไม่พบว่ามีความแตกต่างกันการศึกษาที่ 2 มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อเปรียบเทียบผลของการฝึกแบบผสมผสานระหว่างการออกกำลังกายและการฝึกพุทธิปัญญาต่อความสามารถด้านความตั้งใจและปริมาณเซรั่มบีดีเอ็นเอฟ โดยทำการทดลองในนักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตที่ผ่านการแข่งขันในรายการ CU Open จำนวน 32 คน แบ่งเป็น 4 กลุ่ม ประกอบด้วยกลุ่มฝึกผสมผสานการออกกำลังกายและการฝึกพุทธิปัญญา (Physical-Cognitive Exercise ;PCE) กลุ่มฝึกออกกำลังกาย (Physical Exercise; PE),กลุ่มฝึกพุทธิปัญญา (Cognitive Exercise (CE),และกลุ่มควบคุม (C). โดยทำการฝึก 4 สัปดาห์ สัปดาห์ละ 2 ครั้ง ทำการทดสอบความตั้งใจแบบกระพริบ การค้นหาด้วยสายตา การตอบสนองต่อสัญญาณไฟปฏิกิริยา และวัดปริมาณเซรั่มบีดีเอ็นเอฟ ก่อนการทดลอง หลังการฝึกครั้งแรก และหลังการฝึก 4 สัปดาห์ ผลฉับพลันจากการฝึกพบว่า กลุ่ม PE และ CE มีอัตราการตอบสนองถูกต้องสูงกว่ากลุ่ม PCE และกลุ่มควบคุมอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (p = .017, = .020 และ p < .001, < .001 ตามลำดับ) ในการทดสอบความตั้งใจแบบกระพริบ และกลุ่ม CE มีเวลาปฏิกิริยาในการตอบสนองเร็วกว่ากลุ่มอื่นๆอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (p = .004) ในการทดสอบการค้นหาด้วยสายตา หลังการฝึก 4 สัปดาห์ กลุ่ม PCE PE และ CE มีอัตราการตอบสนองถูกต้องสูงกว่ากลุ่มควบคุมอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (p = .028, .008, < .001 ตามลำดับ) ในการทดสอบความตั้งใจแบบกระพริบ และกลุ่ม PCE และ PE มีอัตราการตอบสนองถูกต้องมากกว่ากลุ่ม CE อย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (p = .021, .003 ตามลำดับ) ในการทดสอบการค้นหาด้วยสายตา แต่มีเวลาปฏิกิริยาในการตอบสนองที่ช้ากว่ากลุ่ม CE (p = .003, .004) ในส่วนของปริมาณเซรั่มบีดีเอ็นเอฟ หลังการฝึกครั้งแรกพบว่ากลุ่ม PE มีการเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (p = .004) และหลังการฝึก 4 สัปดาห์พบว่ากลุ่ม PCE และ PE มีปริมาณเซรั่มบีดีเอ็นเอฟเพิ่มขึ้นกว่าก่อนการทดลองอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (p = .004, .024 ตามลำดับ)จากผลการทดลองพบว่านักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตมืออาชีพมีความสามารถความตั้งใจที่สูงกว่านักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตในระดับสมัครเล่น โดยการฝึกแบบผสมผสานการออกกำลังกายและการฝึกพุทธิปัญญาสามารถช่วยเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพความตั้งใจของนักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตในระดับสมัครเล่นได้ จึงอาจใช้เป็นแนวทางหนึ่งในการพัฒนาความสามารถความตั้งใจ และอาจช่วยเพิ่มความสามารถในการเล่นและแข่งขันกีฬาอีสปอร์ตได้ทางหนึ่ง
