Strength and endurance are essential components for physical fitness of any individual. High intensity interval training provides time efficient benefits for strength and endurance training. Physical Therapy professionals and students need physical fitness for effective clinical performance of patients. There is limited research regarding physical performance of physical therapists itself

Physical fitness is defined as capacity of doing physical activity using muscular efforts, resulting in energy expenditure. It is dependent upon body composition, muscle strength, endurance and flexibility of person. Pre assessment of strength, endurance and flexibility among physical therapy students will measure their physical fitness and findings from High intensity interval training (HIIT) will help further clinicians for designing fitness program to enhance physical abilities of future physical therapists. This study will address the gap by finding effects of HIIT that would help to improve fitness level of physical therapy students and influence exercise prescription.
