    High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is one of the most popular training nowadays and is commonly used by sportsmen as well as fitness practitioners to improve performance. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of HIIT training using tires and ropes on cardiovascular fitness, peak power, and body composition. This study used a Quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest Nonequivalent Comparison) design. A total of 52 male with an average age of 22.67 ± 0.92 years voluntarily participated in this study and were divided into two groups, experimental and control group. The intervention was conducted for 20 minutes per session, three times a week, and for eight weeks. After eight weeks of training, ANCOVA analysis showed by adjusting the pre-test scores as a covariate, the post-test score of the cardiovascular fitness and peak power for the experimental group was significantly higher compared to the control group, F (1, 49) = 83.85, p = 0.001, and F (1, 49) = 7.43, p = 0.009. Meanwhile, no significant difference was seen for the post-test score of body composition between control and experimental group, F (1, 49) = 2.05, p = 0.158. The results of this study suggested that eight weeks of tires and ropes exercise are effective for increasing cardiovascular fitness and peak power levels, but not in reducing the percentage of body fat among young male.
