Mathletics (etymology:
math+
athletics) is any scenario where the actual act of doing
mathematics is turned into a legitimate
sport. In our case (cf.
juking),
mathletics* is the
mapping of
fitness metrics - namely
walks - to their respective
fibors [
mathletics = preimage↔image] (ie. a technical understanding of the mechanics to a specific
play run), thus making
ludology a
normal component of
recreation.
Mathletics may also be
defined more primitively; for we can say that the ability to
gamify any
puzzle-solution (specifically
one of
capture the flag🏁 objectivity with a
🥕bounty program [🏁→🥕]) is a demonstration (ie. competitive flexing) of being subjectively '
mathletic'.
Contextual juking. (see also
recreational mathematics,
cryptosport,
juker)
Furthermore, (in
gameplay) the
mathlete is someone who uses
EGP to
decrypt/encrypt walks from entropic
events. More succinctly, the
mathlete is a
sport performer (or coach) with priority to act out some particular
ballet. In terms of so-called "
mathleticism", its
definition is of a person's (here, the "
mathlete") potential to obtain a
high score (translation: earn
¢ents) in
competitive mathletics. (see also
mathletic scholarship,
mathemusic,
tournament,
treble)
Note (+): Mathletics is classified under recreational mathematics.

"The existential test of a mathlete is their ability to maximize their earning potential." - Link Starbureiy
 From an historical standpoint, I called it 'mathletics' because after reading the book "Hyperspace" by Michio Kaku, particularly the part where the author enticed readers to find a solution to string field theory, I ended up later creating the EGP Keynote (based off of what I perceived to be a hinted challenge from Kaku). Had I been in academia, this may have been a community effort, but since I worked (as a tendency) in isolation (solo) at the time, I chose to treat it like a sport. Hence the origins of my recreational approach to mathematics.🤓
