Resumen

Los deportes electrónicos están creciendo rápidamente en términos de impacto económico y social. Este crecimiento con-lleva la evolución de los clubes, que lleva al desarrollo profesional de sus jugadores y entrenadores. A pesar del protagonismo de los jugadores, los entrenadores desempeñan un papel crucial en el control de las variables de salud y rendimiento en los deportes electrónicos, lo que les confiere una gran relevancia. Sin embargo, la perspectiva de los entrenadores respecto a estas variables es actualmente desconocida. Por ello, esta investigación se propuso diseñar y validar, mediante el método Delphi, un cuestionario centrado en el punto de vista de los entrenadores sobre aspectos de salud y rendimiento en los deportes electrónicos. Se consultó a un grupo de8 expertos, los cuales cumplieron con los criterios de validez de la investigación. Posteriormente, se elaboró un cuestionario de 17 preguntas, dividido en las categorías de "Salud" y "Videojuego". El cuestionario procedió a validarse mediante el método Delphi a través de dos rondas de consulta. Se aplicó el coeficiente V de Aiken con un intervalo de confianza del 95% y, con un límite inferior de V de 0.75 y un mínimo de 0.7 para el límite inferior global. Los resultados mostraron que los 17 ítems cumplían los criterios establecidos (V≥0.75, Límite inferior > 0.7), lo que confirma su validez. Sobre la base de los datos obtenidos, este cuestionario representa una herramienta válida para conocer la perspectiva de los entrenadores sobre dos aspectos fundamentales en los deportes electrónicos: la salud y las claves de rendimiento. Además, se trata del primer cuestionario específicamente enfocado a este colectivo.
