Abstract

The TABATA workout has been praised in a number of research articles for its value to young adults. However, no research involving college students in the Philippines' higher education context was located or carried out. The purpose of this research was to determine whether or not college students may benefitit from the TABATA exercise program. Finally, it hoped to see if this exercise could assist reduce participants' body mass index and waist circumference. Using an experimental design, this study examined the effects of a 10-week TABATA training program in repetition on college students. After the 10-week exercise performed by the participants in general, it was found that there is a reduction and improvement on participants’ BMI. Additionally, a signifiticant improvement was observed in the participants’ WC. However, based on sex, no signifiticant variance in both genders’ BMI. Fascinatingly, a signifiticant improvement was observed in the WC of both sexes. Based on the general fitindings, participating in the TABATA program is effective and may partially improve students’ BMI and signifiticantly enhance WC. To conclude, this study did not take into account other factors which may also affect the result of this study. Therefore, comparable experiments may be conducted while taking into account other variables aforementioned to this study’s limitation. © 2023, DJ Studio. All rights reserved.
