Objective. This research addresses the issue of insufficient endurance and strength abilities among the student regiment at Padang State University. Methods. It employs a quasi-experimental research approach with a two-group pre-test and post-test design. The study involves the entire student regiment, consisting of 25 individuals, with inclusion criteria for a sample size of 20 participants were recruited in this research. Endurance and strength tests (bleep test and kesemaptaan test) are the primary instruments for data collection, with data analysis conducted using the t-test at a significance level of α = 0.05.. Results. The study reveals that the average endurance pre-test and post-test results for the circuit training (CT) group were 34.9 ± 4.63 and 39.35 ± 4.73, respectively, with an average improvement of 41.70 ± 7.07. Additionally, the average strength pre-test and post-test results for the CT group were 53.00 ± 9.34 and 77.44 ± 11.99, respectively, with an average improvement of 46.70 ± 4.69. Conversely, the average endurance pre-test and post-test results for the High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) group were 35.03 ± 4.57 and 38.72 ± 5.49, with an average improvement of 10.30 ± 3.23. The average strength pre-test and post-test results for the HIIT group were 55.72 ± 9.39 and 78.50 ± 11.14, with an average improvement of 13.50 ± 4.92. These findings indicate that the average improvement in endurance and strength for the CT group was higher compared to the HIIT group. The independent sample test verified the significant effectiveness of CT and HIIT exercises on endurance and muscle strength outcomes for each group (P < 0.05). This study underscores the efficacy of both circuit training and High-Intensity Interval Training in enhancing the endurance and strength of Padang State University student regiments, particularly in both male and female participants. It was verified that the intervention group undergoing circuit training displayed superior endurance and strength performance compared to the High-Intensity Interval Training group.
