The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of new interval training methods and repetition training methods on short- and middle-distance athlete’s anaerobic fitness. Thirty (30) short and middle distance project athletes were selected comprehensively from the total of 40 athletes. Based on the pretest result, the subjects were randomly assigned to the repetition (n = 15) and new interval (n = 15) training groups. The study design was quasi-experimental. So as to measure the effect of the training, five anaerobic fitness tests, viz., the 400-meter drop-off test, the 150-metre endurance test, the 30-metre flying test, and the RAST test, was measured. To evaluate the effect of these training methods and whether there was a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention results after 8 weeks of three days per training intervention week, a paired sample t test was employed. In addition, to examine differences between the two groups results on anaerobic fitness, an independent sample t-test with an alpha value of 0.05 was employed. Both training methods have a significant effect on anaerobic efficiency, speed endurance, maximum speed, power, and fatigue index as measured pre- and post-test. There was a significant difference between the repetition training group and the new interval training group in terms of anaerobic efficiency (p =.020, MD =.807) and maximum speed (P =.008, MD =.448). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the level of speed endurance (p = 0.150), power (p = 0.619), or fatigue index (p = 0.788). Therefore, two months of both the new interval training method and the repetition training method were effective for the improvement in all the above-mentioned fitness variables. The repetition-training method is better than the new interval-training method in improving anaerobic efficiency and maximum speed, but there was no significant difference between groups in speed endurance, power, or fatigue index. Therefore, it would seem highly recommended to implement both repetition and new interval training programmes to improve anaerobic fitness, and repetition training should be more effective than new interval training.
