PRONUNCIATION NOTE FOR ATHLETE
Athlete, athletic, and athletics,
normally pronounced [ath-leet], [ath-let-ik], and [ath-let-iks],
are heard frequently with an epenthetic schwa,
an intrusive unstressed vowel
inserted between the first and second syllables:
[ath-uh-leet], [ath-uh-let-ik], and [ath-uh-let-iks].
The pronunciations containing
the extra syllable are usually considered nonstandard,
in spite of their widespread use on radio and television.
Pronunciations with similarly intrusive vowels
are also heard, though with less currency,
for other words, as [fil-uhm] for film,
[el-uhm] for elm, and
[ahr-thuh-rahy-tis] for arthritis,
rather than the standard [film], [elm], and [ahr-thrahy-tis].

Tabata
A type of HIIT (high-intensity interval training)
What does tabata mean?
Tabata is a high-intensity interval training
that consists of eight sets of fast-paced exercises
each performed for 20 seconds
interspersed with a brief rest of 10 seconds.
Where did tabata come from?
Tabata training (also called Tabata protocol)
is a type of HIIT (high-intensity interval training).
It originated in the research of Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata
and his team from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports
at Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan,
on high-intensity exercise during the early 1990s.
Their objective was to find out
If shortbursts of high-intensity exercise
followed by shorter rests
might condition the body better than
a continuous moderate-intensity exercise.
To determine this, they worked with two test groups
—one doing moderately intense exercise
and the other high-intense.
Moderate-intensity exercising
consisted of a one-hour workout,
five days a week, for six weeks.
The high-intensity exercising
consisted of a four-minute workout,
four days a week, for six weeks;
each workout consisted of
eight sets of 20 seconds of exercise at maximum effort each
followed by a 10-second rest.
To do the math: (8 x 20) + (8 x 10) = 240 seconds (4 minutes).
The results of the study showed that
the moderate-intensity workouts
improved the aerobic (or cardiovascular) fitness of test subjects
but did little anaerobically (that is, in muscle strengthening).
The high-intensity workouts, on the other hand,
benefited the test subjects more significantly
both aerobically and anaerobically, which, evidently,
was due to the unbalanced exercise-to-rest ratio.
The reasoning behind this is that
a shorter period of rest in between longer periods of intense exercise during a workout does not allow the body to fully recover.
By the second half of the workout,
the body is forced to work at maximum capacity physiologically,
causing the heart to pump faster and the rate of metabolism to increase.
In the end, the high-intensity routine
builds endurance and muscle, and burns lots of calories
—and it only takes four minutes of pushing yourself to the absolute limit four or five days a week.
Hence, we have the popularity of the Tabata 20-10 workout
(20 seconds of exercise, 10 of rest—and repeat).
How is tabata used?
Tabata has evolved since the 1990s, not in execution,
but in the exercises that are incorporated in training.
They are now more intense than pedaling a stationary bike at full speed, which was the main exercise in Dr. Tabata's research.
Nowadays, a combination of advanced exercises
—such as burpees, medicine ball slams, lunges, and kettlebell swings
—are performed at maximum effort,
making the 4-minute session of self-inflicted torture
that much more intense.

Common Errors In English Usage Dictionary
athlete
Tired of people stereotyping you as a dummy just because you’re a jock?
One way to impress them is to pronounce “athlete” properly,
with just two syllables’, as “ATH-leet”
instead of using the common mispronunciation “ATH-uh-leet.”
