Optical HR Sensors Banned from Regionals
Effective immediately, all optical PPG sensors are banned due to latency issues during rapid deceleration attempts. Athletes must transition to ECG chest straps.

A Metric.
The global repository for competitive meditation. We aggregate EEG baseline requirements, historic heart-rate variability (HRV) records, and judge-approved neurofeedback hardware specifications.
Current Standards
- Min. HRV Variance (Elite) 4.2 ms
- Max Allowed Heart Rate 48 bpm
- Sustained Theta Wave Duration 14m 30s
The End of Subjectivity
For centuries, meditation was qualitative. Today, it is exact. The Meditation World Cup utilizes clinical-grade neurofeedback and biometric telemetry to quantify inner peace. Judges no longer look at posture; they look at Alpha-Theta crossover states and parasympathetic nervous system dominance.
A competitor must actively down-regulate their physiology under stadium lights and crowd noise. The standard event—the 20-minute Decelerator—requires an athlete to drop their heart rate from a resting state of 70 BPM down to under 50 BPM within three minutes, and hold it there while maintaining specific brainwave frequencies.

Rapid Deceleration
Measured by the steepness of the HRV curve upon entering the stadium.
Distraction Resistance
Maintaining Theta state during induced auditory/visual stadium shocks.
Sustained Absolute Zero
Lowest combined metabolic rate over a 60-minute long-form block.
