Known as HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or high-intensity interval training is at the top of current training. This type of training allows athletes to exercise longer in high intensity and not the other way around. The main objective of this work is to provide a tool for physical education professionals and trainers to evaluate their jiu-jitsu fighters specifically through an adaptation of interval training to jiu-jitsu, and can also obtain parameters through a targeted methodology, such as the fighter's specific endurance index test. The methodology also consists of promoting during the test, active recovery and a high cadence in the executions of movements, this recovery will also promote a higher oxygen consumption with close effort/pause, being considered as short HIIT, with values in the subjective scale of effort perception of 6 to 20, corresponding to high-intensity interval training. According to all the results obtained we can verify that it is an evaluation tool that complies with the requirements of an activity characterized as short intensity interval training, with active recovery, so it has higher caloric expenditure in the training section, as well as oxygen consumption and even a higher average heart rate in training because the subjective perception of mean effort among the subjects tested was 16 on the Borg scale. It is concluded that this proposal meets the initial objectives and will, in addition, this concept can be used for any type of physical activity and various types of sports gestures, thus being an excellent tool for teachers and technicians, and can also be used as part of a structure of physical preparation for combat modalities in several specific phases of training.
