Effects of 8-week Tabata training on cardiopulmonary and performance parameters in wheelchair basketball players: A controlled study

The findings indicate that Tabata training positively affects maximal heart rate, respiratory function, lactate response, body weight, and sprint performance in WB players. The program appears to enhance lactate tolerance and maximal ventilatory capacity, potentially improving oxygen intake during high-intensity efforts. These results suggest that Tabata training can be a valuable addition to the training routines of WB athletes.
