- Assess current routine: 4 training sessions per week, 90 minutes each, average energy expenditure 700 kcal. - Desired output: 95% combat readiness, measured by agility, strength, reaction time. - Cost: 700 kcal/day, 5 hours of scheduled training, 15 minutes post‑session recovery, 20% downtime for meetings. - Benefit: 15% increase in reaction time, 12% increase in lift capacity, 8% decrease in injury risk. - Net benefit ratio: (12+15+8) / (700+5+0.25) ≈ 1.4 per training hour. - Optimization: Add 10 minutes of dynamic stretching pre‑session, replace one 90‑minute session with 45 minutes of high‑intensity interval, allocate 15 minutes for mental rehearsal. - Expected uplift: +5% reaction time, +3% lift capacity, +2% injury reduction. - Schedule update: 5 days a week, 45‑minute sessions, 10‑minute stretch, 5‑minute mental prep, 10‑minute cool‑down. - Review point: end of month, re‑measure metrics, adjust calories and time allotment by +/- 5%.
