A most popular method is High Intensity Interval Training which is considered as a successful procedure in improving various variables of physiology. Objective: To understand various outcomes of High Intensity Interval Training in improving strength of athletics. Method: Literature review which is indexed in the various databases viz SportsDiscus, Medline, PubMed and CINAHL was performed by which research gap has been identified. Quality of Research Methodology of the studies is degreed by systematically using the PEDro scale. Results: Twenty Five studies comes under the population criteria, all such studies have been included in this research. The scores based on the PEDro scale were found 15/20–17/20. The results of High Intensity Interval Training found improvements in running: 5000 and 5500 m track time (TT), (p = 0.03, p < 0.05, respectively) and 40-m sprint TT (p = 0.091), rowing: 3000- m TT (p = 0.02), cycling increase in 5 mile time trial (p = 0.04), softball significant increase in peak pitch velocity (3%), and hockey skating 33 m sprint (p = 0.03). High Intensity Interval Training was not significant for swimming endurance trials (p = 0.82). Although High Intensity Interval Training had noteworthy impact on many other methods, although, its impact was varying and could not improve every time in other sports activities.
