The two brands will perform studies evaluating the duration of game play to find preventive solutions relating to muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and mobility for esport athletes. Educational workshops teaching gamers how to use Hyperice devices will also be provided, and select high profile esports events will now include Hyperice mobility and recovery rooms.
