Exploring Tabata Workouts and Optimal Training Frequency
Tabata workout originates from professor Izumi Tabata's research on high-intensity interval training, which showed better fitness results compared to steady-state training. The ideal tabata workout consists of 20 seconds at maximum capacity. It is crucial to understand that tabata should not be done every day as it puts the body under maximum stress, requiring adequate rest for muscle recovery. For optimal results, tabata should be done no more than two to three times a week with sufficient rest periods in between to allow the body to recuperate and avoid overtraining.
