Introduction Athletes must have high sports skills and endurance to achieve good results in the field. Therefore, endurance training is very important among athletes. Objective Explore the application of endurance training in teaching athletes physical fitness. Methods In the form of a control experiment, 20 junior athletes were voluntary participants in this research. Divided into control and experimental groups, the control followed the usual training plan while the experimental group was added 1.5 hours of post-workout endurance training. Data was recorded and cataloged before and after the experiment. Results Both endurance and routine training can improve the physical fitness of athletes. The improvement of endurance training was shown to be superior to traditional training methods. For the athletes in the experimental group, in the 6-week process, the three-sport indexes showed a fluctuating optimization and significantly improved overall compared to before the experiment. Conclusion Endurance training has solid evidence of improving the physical fitness of athletes, including benefits related to ability and competitive performance. Therefore, further studies are recommended for its popularization.
