Methods: The participants were 200 high school students. After the PFQ pre-test, participants were divided into experimental group (N = 104, age: 15.02 ± 0.87 yrs, height: 165.78 ± 8.16 cm, weight: 61.92±13.26kg) and control group （N = 96 , age: 15.02 ± 0.87 yrs, height: 165.17 ± 8.92 cm, weight: 60.76 ± 13.36 kg）by age. In experimental group, participants were taught the Mach drills including 7 movements for 4 weeks and trained the Mach drills for 8 weeks (each time for 50 minutes, 2 times a week). In control group, participants were only taught normal physical education classes (each time for 50 minutes, 2 times a week). All the participants were accepted PFQ tests after intervention. Raw data were transferred to scores by PFQ norms and using the independent t test to compare the difference between experimental group and control group. Result: The experimental group was significant higher than control group in PFQ, HPFQ, SPFQ, muscular fitness scores, flexibility scores, cardiorespiratory fitness scores, agility scores, coordination scores, speed scores and power scores (p<0.05). The body composition, balance and reaction scores were no difference between groups. After the Mach drills training, the items of physical fitness were decreased with ages (8 items in freshman, 5 items in sophomore, 2 items in junior). Conclusion: The Mach drills training for 12 weeks increased the PFQ, HPFQ and SPFQ of the senior high students, however the effects of Mach drills training were decreased with increasing age.
