Haha, that's weird and interesting at the same time. Though some people just have a naturally lower heart rate than others.
I mean, biological differences between people are a thing in basically all sports. Not much you can do about that until all humans are designer clones of the same template. Even that they may be genetically tuned to do certain jobs.
It should be noted that doing sports can significantly improve your reading heart rate though
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"There is an ever-growing need for people to find ways to relax to aid recovery from every-day stress and increasing demands on individuals' time.
Upon arriving at the Kia Oval cricket ground in London, with only a vague sense of what lay ahead of me, I was handed a heart rate monitor by one of the officials and told to strap it around my upper body.
Their briefing outlined the upcoming challenge: a sequence of three unique rounds, all to be experienced while seated, with the fluctuations of our heart rates under constant observation by their team of fitness experts.
There was Mr. Chillax in front of me, rocking the sunglasses and baseball cap combo, practically becoming one with the armchair, and just behind me, a man-bunned yogi-looking dude, deep in Zen mode with his eyes serenely shut.
Nicola is the first to have her name etched onto the coveted Extreme Relaxing Championships trophy, and also claimed the winning prize - a Snug sofa worth Β£3K (β¬3,500).
Although I fell short of clinching the title for the UK's supreme chillaxer champion, I had an incredibly enjoyable day and it reaffirmed my passion for relaxation.

As someone with POTS/inappropriate sinus tachycardia, I can assure you that measuring heart rate is not a reliable way of measuring how relaxed someone is. I can do a hell of a lot of relaxing, but my heart rate doesn't go much below 100 bpm.
How do i take part in it ?
The Montenegrins would have won, if they werenβt too lazy to travel to London
They might watch it on TV... but only if the remote control is within hand's reach.
