Tarbimisharjumustel

Tarbimisharjumustel, also known as Turkish army's dietary cycle, is a personnel management practice used in the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK). This system tracks and categorizes a soldier's physical and mental abilities, as well as their eating habits and timing, to ensure they are at their most effective at peak moments during a mission or operation.

The practice involves categorizing soldiers into one of four cycles based on their energy levels. The first cycle, or Esnek Cyküs, is a low-intensity cycle, meant for basic training, medical exercises, or studying. It is characterized by low-intensity physical activities, with a focus on endurance over intensity.

The second cycle, or Yürür Cyküs, is a moderate-intensity cycle, with a mix of physical and mental exercises. This cycle is suitable for soldiers involved in routine combat operations, administrative tasks, or training exercises.

The Dreng Cyküs, a high-intensity cycle, is used for the most physically demanding tasks. Soldiers operating in Dreng Cyküs opt for high-intensity physical and mental exercises in short intervals, followed by rest.

The Berdeg Sticky is an unconventional cycle that prioritizes mental acuity. It's reserved for high-stakes decision-making situations and small teams.

Tarbimisharjumustel may appear unusual, but it has been reported to yield impressive results in the Turkish military by boosting soldier performance in real-time and in situ.
