In order to explore the effects of HIT and MICT on aerobic endurance of college basketball players. By analyzing the difference between the cardiorespiratory endurance of basketball-specialized college students and the certain correlation between their athletic ability, it can better serve the practice of basketball training and provide certain theoretical guidance and theoretical guidance for the improvement of basketball-specialized college students’ athletic fitness, with a practical application value. 37 male college basketball players were randomly divided into the HIT group and MICT group. They were trained four times a week for 10 weeks. The special indexes of cardiopulmonary and basketball were measured during and before and after exercise. The experiment shows that the heart rate in HIT fast running stage is significantly higher than that in MICT, and the stimulation to cardiopulmonary function is stronger. HIT and MICT are difficult to improve athletes’ VO2max, but they can significantly improve the utilization rate of VO2max of VAT, and the effect of HIT is better than MICT. HIT and MICT have significant effects on improving the performance of

run, and the former has obvious advantages. However, in terms of improving the performance of 3/4 sprint, HIT improved significantly.
