Tabata Timer - SLOX is built exclusively for the Dr. Izumi Tabata interval protocol โ not a generic HIIT, EMOM, or boxing round timer. WHAT IS TABATA? In 1996, Dr. Izumi Tabata published a study showing that 20 seconds of maximum effort followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times (~4 minutes), dramatically improves VOโmax.
