Explosive strength is a crucial physical fitness component required for optimal performance in many sports. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has gained popularity as an effective training method for improving muscular power and neuromuscular efficiency within a short duration. The present study aimed to examine the impact of High-Intensity Interval Training on explosive strength among college athletes. Thirty male college athletes aged 18–22 years were selected using random sampling. A single-group pre-test and post-test experimental design was adopted. Explosive strength was assessed using a standardized Vertical Jump Test. The participants underwent a structured HIIT programme for eight weeks. Mean, standard deviation, and paired‘t’ test were used for statistical analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement in explosive strength following the HIIT intervention. The study concludes that HIIT is an effective training method for enhancing explosive strength among college athletes.
