For this purpose, 24 male football players who played in amputee football Super league and had at least 5 years of amputee football history participated in the study voluntarily. Material and Methods: The athletes participating in the study were divided into 2 groups of 12 each as control group (CG) and tabata group (TG) by simple random method. While the TG applied an 8-week tabata exercise protocol during the normal football season, the CG continued only football training. Tabata protocol was applied as 4 sets 2 times a week for 8 weeks. Height, weight, waist, hip, standing long jump, vertical jump and yoyo tests were performed as pre-test before 8 weeks and post-test after 8 weeks. Dependent sample t test was used to determine whether there was a difference between the pre-test and post-test of each group. Results: According to the pre-post test data between the groups; statistically significant differences were found in the final weight (-1.92±0.38), final VKI (-1.05±0.19), final SLJ (33.91±7.51), final VJ (7.66±1.54), and final Yoyo (1.437±0.26) measurements of TG and KG (p>0.05). Conclusion: Tabata protocol applied for 8 weeks will be very useful to be used more in the development of aerobic and anaerobic endurance skills which are very important in amputee football players.}, number={1}, publisher={Dokuz Eylul University}
