The research subjects were 29 medical students of Diponegoro University, woman, normal IMT, 18-22 ages, has no neurologic deficit. The control group instructed not to do any physical exercises (n=15) and the experimental group was given an intervention of HIIT exercises that consists of warm-up, core, and cool-down movements for 6 weeks (n=14).

Results: A significant decrease in reaction time scores (p=0,007) in both the experimental and control groups. A significant difference in reaction time scores (p=0.007) between the experimental group before and after the intervention was 592,07±74,82 to 517,21±56,77 milisecond. A significant difference in reaction time scores (p=0.024) between the control group before and after the intervention was 611,73±78,93 to 574,06±47,06 milisecond. Conclusion: HIIT for 6 weeks has been proved to reduce reaction time scores.
