The purpose of the research is to substantiate the need to introduce the term "esports biomechanics" and describe the features of performing techniques in esports, showing the fundamental importance of developing esports rules and esports equipment both for the health of esports athletes and for increasing the efficiency of performing esports tasks.

Research methods and organization. Authors conducted a research, which studied the impact of the risks of sedentary work on health, and a research of the rules of esports federations for the presence of sections that would include recommendations on the ergonomics of the workplace of an esports athlete.

Research results and their discussion. When playing esports, health risks are increased compared to typical sedentary work at the computer as a result of the inability to comply with the recommended computer work regulations.

Conclusion. The definitions of the terms «esports biomechanics» and «esports technique» in the connection with biomechanics of esports were given, and also directions for further research to use esports biomechanics for the design of computer games, the rules of the events and the game equipment were described.
