The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Sport Specific high-intensity Interval Training (SSIT) on performance. 40 young male athletes were randomly allocated to Control (CON) and SSIT groups. The SSIT program consisted of 10 training postures of 30 seconds alternated with 30 seconds of resting periods. SSIT underwent each training program for totally of 20 min/day, 3 times/a week for 8 weeks. The significant increment of maximum oxygen consumption, counter movement jump and squat jump (P<0.05) were observed in SSIT group as compared to pre-test and control group. Body fat decreased significantly in SSIT as compared to pre-test (P<0.05). There was no a significant change in anaerobic performance, agility and flexibility in an interventional group. Short duration of sport specific high-intensity interval training can enhanced aerobic capacity, counter movement jump and squat jump in 8 weeks. With restricted time and applied in practical training, SSIT should be recommended as additional program in young male futsal athletes.
