The origins of Tabata training lead to a study by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata, who founded this type of training, primarily focused on the fact that high intensity training improved VO2 max (or your maximal oxygen consumption) by about 14 %,
while anaerobic capacity improved by 28 %.
Aerobic capacity was measured by having the subjects run to the point of exhaustion on a treadmill,
while anaerobic capacity was assessed through seated cycling ergometer.

Psychologists, together with physiologists from Moskomsport, tracked the changes in footballers» conditions
while testing their aerobic and
anaerobic capacities.
Aerobic
capacity was tested using a VO2 max test
while a Wingate Test was used to test
anaerobic capacity.
At the conclusion of the study, those that completed the interval training improved both aerobic and
anaerobic capacity,
while the steady state cardio people only improved aerobic
capacity [1].
Individuals hoping to post competitive times in distances up to the 5k will benefit most from ME lifts and DE circuits and speed lifts that emphasize improved specific
anaerobic work
capacity (i.e. muscular endurance in the legs), improved muscle fiber recruitment and maintenance of optimal running biomechanics
while fatigued.
