Redefining HIIT with Tabata Intervals

"Tabata interval training looks to be one of the hot new trends for endurance athletes in 2013."
 
This article gives another summary of the Tabata interval but also some words of caution (mainly derived from the original Active.com article).

Frequency of Use
A word of caution: Tabata interval training sessions should not be incorporated into any other workout; athletes who do more than a few minutes of warm-up will not have the energy to work at maximum effort. Similarly, athletes should not have the energy to complete more than a quick cool down after performing Tabatha intervals.
For those who want to quickly boost their aerobic and anaerobic fitness, Tabata interval training can be incorporated into a training program as little as once every 10 days, to as much as twice per week. Additionally, Tabata intervals can be used as a time-saving workout for athletes who do not have much time but want to receive the same benefits of a longer workout.
