Aerobic resistance is the capacity to perform physical activity for as long as possible, being a determining capacity for many sports and a need for active military personnel, for which specialized strategies are established for its enhancement such as the interval model application, considered a training based on the repetition periods of high intensity load. In this sense, the research objective is to promote aerobic endurance in soldiers of the Escuela de Infantería del Ejército (EIE) from a HIIT interval training. A descriptive-co relational investigation is implemented, analyzing 75 soldiers from the improvement course of the Escuela de Infantería del Ejército, evaluating their aerobic capacity, including the Body Mass Index before and after implementing interval training for 8 weeks. The average body mass index was 23.91kg (Normal; Pretest), and 23.38kg (Normal; Posttest), being significantly different (p = 0.000), while the average time in the 2-mile test was 13'39min / s (Pretest) and 12'48 min / s (Posttest), improving -51s. The VoMax2 was 47.64 (ml / kg / min. Pretest) and 52.65 ml / Kg / min (Posttest), an increase of +5.01 ml / Kg / min, corresponding to a 10.51% increase of VO2max. Interval training, emphasizing the extensive-medium and intensive-short, positively affects the development of short-term aerobic endurance, being an alternative to improve aerobic endurance indicators in soldiers with an age range between 23-28 years.
