Repetitive operations in the same posture for an average of 10 to 15 hours a day cause excessive strain on the eyes, fingers, wrists, and neck, often forcing players to retire in their mid-20s. This directly leads to a management challenge for professional teams, which is the loss of human capital due to the early loss of skilled talent.
