“The 4-minute interval protocol that made HIIT a kitchen clock.”
Tabata's 1996 cycling bouts (170% VO2max, 20/10 × 8) escaped the lab and became a noun. Most 'Tabata' classes are cousins; the paper is the protocol.
Opened a named interval as mass practice.
- 20/10 × 8
- Supramaximal intervals
- Protocol as brand-name
20 seconds on. 10 off. Eight times.
