The choice of an effective practice strategy could be very beneficial because boosting an athlete's performance is correlated with improving their physical components. The significance of this study was that HIIT is helpful in increasing strength, endurance and agility. Thus it could be useful for athletes for their physical fitness in less duration as compared to the conventional protocols.
