This is incorrect. If you ned to work during the rest phase, your work phase was not hard enough. If 100% sprint work intensity (Tabata) is not enough, then you should think about the Olympics as Tabata was originally set up for Olympic Sppedskaters and they found it plenty difficult... with the rest phase intact.
@js290 , So you agree that Tabata work with the prescribed rest intervals are supremely difficult and that adding a stress position in the rest phase simply reduces the cardio work possible? In any case, if you are working at 100%, you are working at the highest level of sprint intensity, regardless of what your V02Max is.
@Fletch828 At least read the abstract of Tabata's published paper. It specifically states "an intensity of about 170% of VO2max," not 100%. In lay terms, it means swimming like a great white shark is about to eat you for 20 seconds, rest for 10, then repeat 8 times. For the non-elite athlete, good luck with the third interval. The question we should be asking ourselves is what exactly is happening to the body at 170% and whether there's another way to duplicate that effect.
@Fletch828 The reason adding a stress position during the rest phase is bad is because it takes away from the intensity of the work periods. A good example is the reason you take a rest between lifting sets. If you didn't take a rest between weight lifting sets, you wouldn't be able to perform each following set with as much intensity, thus reducing the physical benefit.
What's the point? Tabata is 100% max work during work phase and genuine rest during rest phase. If you choose to take the rest away by holding someone in a stress position, you are only reducing the quality of the work in the work phase. People will govern down their intensity.
Good for people who won't push themselves and need some hazing, I guess.
you're right...thought that too =) but hindusquats with inproper form...and less deep...the really important thing to not kill your knees is to go on the toes if you're down, then it's not a problem if your knees go over your toes...these tabata squats look like some kind of cheap copy of the hindu squat =))...
ditto to mulgabull. Sure it seems cool, but the point is to have the rest so you can push fully when you're not on rest. No advantage to doing it this way over "regular", this is just for show.
If you are flexible enough, sitting in the bottom of the squat SHOULD be a rest phase.

Don't call it tabata just because you used similar rest periods and..... thats it

@ISRMatrixLE Tabata is 170% of VO2max. That's well beyond 100%.

rest is important so the next round would be more explosive..IMO..since tabata is all out for 20 sec..meaning it has to be fast.. intense work..
