Another study was done on the effects of tabata on females. The study was performed using a group of females around 20 yrs old. There was of course a control group along with second group that performed 30 minutes on the treadmill and a third group that performed a tabata style workout.
It was found that both the 30 minute and 4 minute group gained aerobic capacity, but the 4 minute tabata group also had good gains in muscular endurance. I believe these findings once again show that quick, low volume high intensity work can give better results than long boring cardio workouts.
