Tabata training method (Tabata) was founded in Japan by Izumi Tabata. He conducted tests on two groups of athletes; comparing moderate high intensity training with high intensity intermittent/ interval training. Results Moderate high intensity training - 70% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) - 5 days/week, 60 minutes/session - Only improved their aerobic system - Little to no increase in their anaerobic system High intensity interval training (HIIT) - 170% of VO2max - 5 days/week, 7-8 sets of 20-s exercise with a 10-s rest between each bout - Improved both anaerobic and aerobic systems significantly Conclusion: Tabata training in the form of HIIT may be a more efficient and effective way to improve cardiovascular endurance compared to traditional cardiovascular exercise in the form of continuous training. Application: Any exercise can be incorporated into the Tabata training. Personally, I would recommend performing cardiovascular exercises or multi-joint strength exercises to achieve maximum results. The basic outline of the Tabata training method is as follows: • 4 minutes long in total • 20 seconds of intense (all-out effort) training • 10 seconds of rest • Total of 8 intervals or rounds References: Tabata I, Nishimura K, Kouzaki M, et al.
