Abstract: The study compared different training modalities, such as high-intensity interval training versus continuous endurance training, on selected health-related physical fitness, biochemical and haematological parameters of teenage players yielding similar mechanical work and training duration. A random sampling technique was employed and affirmed by the Ethical Committee of Sichuan Province, China. Forty-five teenage sports players aging 18–19 from Sichuan Province, China, were categorized into two experimental and one control group (n = 15) subjects. The groups were allocated separately to high-intensity interval training, continuous endurance training, and control group for a three-month physical exercise program. Each group’s training intensity was set based on the resting heart rate, to assess the effects on health-related physical fitness using fitness gram variables such as cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, and flexibility. Biochemical and haematological fasting blood samples were taken and tested at baseline and post three months of training. Detailed descriptive statistics were carried out for the interpretation of the data. All the statistical analysis was completed using the IBM SPSS 20. Paired t -test and one-way ANCOVA were used to evaluate the effect of two aerobic training methods, and to determine the exact difference between the groups, Scheffe’s post hoc test was employed. The result of the study shows that cardiovascular endurance in HIIT showed a better performance of (25.6%) than in C.E.T. (18.1%). Regarding muscular endurance, C.E.T. achieved 19.6% and HIIT 16.2%. For flexibility, HIIT improved by (6.5%) while C.E.T. (5.8%). Accordingly, the study revealed significant changes in teenage sports players’ health-related fitness, biochemical and haematological parameters.
