This study aims to determine the effect of the Intermediate Interval Training (IIT) method based on high Maximum Aerobic Speed (MAS) on improving aerobic capacity. The research employed a one-group pretest-posttest design using the 15-minute Balke Test. The subjects were four athletes with high MAS who underwent an IIT training program for 16 sessions. Results showed an increase in the athletes' aerobic capacity after completing the program. The 15-minute Balke Test showed an improvement in distance of 53.75 meters from the initial 2554 meters to 2608 meters. This increase corresponded to an improvement in VO₂max from 39.70 ml/kg/min to 40.32 ml/kg/min, or an increase of 0.62 ml/kg/min. The paired t-test yielded a significance value of 0.017 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment values. Thus, Intermediate Interval Training at high MAS has a significant effect on improving athletes’ aerobic capacity. This training method is worth considering as part of a training program to enhance athletes’ aerobic capacity.
