In this study:
A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse's
Department of Exercise and Sport Science administered a 20-minute,
full-body, Tabata-style workout to 16 healthy, fit volunteers

“There is no such thing as a miracle workout,” ACE Chief Science
Officer Dr. Cedric Bryant said in a statement. “While Tabata-inspired
workouts are shorter, they are also extremely tough.
This study showed that fit participants perceived the workout as hard,
therefore these type of workouts could be demotivating or too
challenging for those not as accustomed to strenuous bouts of exercise.”
Therein lies the catch: You've got to be in pretty good shape already
to handle what a Tabata workout throws your way. "It could be dangerous
for [non-exercisers] to be working this hard," John Porcari, Ph.D.,
head of the Clinical Exercise Physiology Program at the University of
Wisconsin-La Crosse, told ACE. "Before people even attempt Tabata they
probably need to have a pretty decent baseline level of fitness."
