1. what type of exercises are suitable for tabata?

low - intensity stretches
high - intensity and explosive exercises
static exercises
isometric exercises

Explanation:

• Question 4: Pyramid HIIT involves a structure where intensity or duration increases and then decreases, resembling a pyramid shape.
• Question 5: The cool - down phase of HIIT is for recovery. Low - intensity aerobic exercise helps lower heart rate gradually, static stretches reduce muscle tightness, deep breaths aid in relaxation, and hydration replenishes fluids lost during the workout. High - intensity exercises are for the main workout, not the cool - down. Reflection and only planning for the next workout are not comprehensive elements of a cool - down.
• Question 6: Tabata is a very high - intensity interval training. It requires exercises that can be performed with maximum effort in short intervals. High - intensity and explosive exercises fit this requirement. Low - intensity stretches, static exercises, and isometric exercises do not provide the necessary intensity for Tabata.

Answer:

1. Increasing and decreasing intensity or duration
2. Low - intensity aerobic exercise, static stretches, deep breaths, and hydration
3. High - intensity and explosive exercises
