The research aimed to prepare a training program based on the use of the intermittent training method in developing physical fitness among students. To identify the effectiveness of a training program based on intermittent training in developing physical fitness variables among students of the faculties of physical education and sports sciences in Iraq. After identifying the level of possession of faculties’ students of physical education and sports sciences in Iraq of physical fitness variables. The researcher used the experimental method with a tight control design for two equal groups in number with a pre-and post-test. The researcher identified the research sample as the players of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences team at the University of Kirkuk in basketball who belong to the college stages (first, second, third, and fourth), academic year (2022-2023). They are  numbering (40) players distributed into two control and experimental groups with (20) players for each group. The researcher developed his training program according to scientific foundations which included various activities and exercises. The training program lasted for (8) weeks with two training units per week. One, the high-intensity interval training method was used from (80% - 90%) and after completing the research experiment extracting the results, conducting and statistically processing the tests and discussing the results. The researcher concluded a set of conclusions, which are:

- The training program based on intermittent training has a positive effect on the development of physical fitness elements among students of the College of Physical Education in Iraq.

- The training program based on intermittent training for the experimental group had an advantage over the approach followed in training for the control group in developing physical fitness variables among players.
