This scoping review aims to systemically identify physical activity and exercise research conducted in esports and its related characteristics, highlighting the current gaps in literature. This review will identify the current physical activity behaviours of e’athletes, existing interventions and their effectiveness, and the perceptions, barriers and facilitators around exercise and physical activity in an esports population. The overarching review question for this revision is: What is the current state of physical activity and exercise research in esports? 1. What are the defining characteristics of research on physical activity and exercise in esports? 2. How has esports research on physical activity and exercise evolved over time? 3. What are the key findings from studies examining physical activity and exercise in esports? 4. What are the common challenges or barriers to being active or exercising within the esports community? 5. What are the existing gaps in research on physical activity and exercise in esports?
