摘要：The training seeks to make change in the patterns of behavior of the individual by directing him/her to the best methods based on the sound understanding of his/her character and the factors determining his/her behavior. Training contributes to the individual's adaptation to the circumstances surrounding him/her and to his balance with the ever-changing conditions of the environment around him. Of these modern approaches is Tabata which is a type of high-intensity, frequent exercise that depends on short-term exercise followed by a break and then resuming the exercise session for 5-20 minutes. The idea of these exercises lays in pushing the body to the need for greater amounts of oxygen, which improves the performance of the cardiovascular system, improve metabolism, increase fat burning, and the body gains high fitness. Through the researcher's notice and reading of previous studies and scientific sources about training, physical fitness, and methods used previously, the researchers used a modern training approach "Tabata". This study aims to identify the effect of Tabata exercises on some components of health fitness of women (strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance) in addition to weight loss. The researchers hypothesized that there were statistically significant differences in weight loss and some health-fitness components as a result of the use of Tabata exercises for women between the pre-test and posttest group. The researcher used a one-group experimental approach. The study included a purposive sample of eight trainees who age 30-35-years who were selected from the sports activity hall at the University of Baghdad. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, paired-sample T-test. The study results revealed that using Tabata exercise has a positive effect in weight loss and the development of certain components of health fitness (strength, flexibility, and fitness). The researchers suggested applying Tabata exercises to athletes in other activities and on different samples in terms of age and gender.
