The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Tabata training exercises on the vital capacity of the athletes in 4 weeks. The study consisted of 10 randomly grouped experiments (age = 21.50 ± 1,649 years, height = 174,70 ± 3,772 cm, weight = 76,40 ± 4,647 kg) and 10 controls (age = 21,10 ± 1,449 years, height = 173,00 ± 4,136 cm, weight = 74,50 ± 4,034 kg A total of 20 voluntary university male athletes, including, were performed on two groups. Vital capacity measurements were made by SPIR-O-FLOW (Peak flow pocket monitor) brand spirometer. Initially, vital capacity measurements (pre-test) of the groups were performed and the control group (KG) and experimental group (DG) performed normal swimming training for 4 weeks. In addition to DG 3 days a week, 1 set of 20 seconds of operation, 10 seconds of rest in the form of 4 min. lasting, 2 sets, total 8 min. They applied the Tabata Training Protocol (TAP). The vital capacities of both groups were measured again (post-test). Pre-test and post-test with variations within groups and between groups (paired-samples t-test) were investigated. The obtained findings (0.05) significance level were evaluated. There was no statistically significant difference between the DG (4.99 ± 0.514L.) And KG (4.65 ± 0.389L.) Pre-test vital capacity values (t = 1.332; p> 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the pre-test (4.65 ± 0.389L.) And post-test (4.77 ± 0.349L.) Measurements (t = -4.811; p
