It's different because it mentions Table Tennis players. Now they just need more money to study regular Tennis, Chess and D&D players then a just BIT more for a comprehensive study. Should keep them in a job for 50 years or so.

That actually sounds like a very interesting question. Regular tennis has far greater cardio load and a slower mental pace. Chess is purely cerebral and memory-heavy while being sedentary, while D&D is an exercise in creativity that is also sedentary.
