With this increased exposure, it’s no wonder someone got a hold of the scientific research on interval training and spun it the wrong way.Thousands of trainees are using one particular type of interval training – without a clue what they’re really doing.Tabata Professor Izumi Tabata and friends in Japan created this 4-minute ultra intense protocol and tested it on his Olympic speed skating guinea pigs in 1996.Today’s version of Tabata in commercial gyms is far from the real deal.
