I am writing to announce the release of a new book from Dr Vladimir

Issurin. The books is entitled " Principles and Basics of Advance

Athletic Training " and serves as a follow up to " Block Periodization " .

Below is a link to review the book and to purchase.

A full description is below.

The purpose of the second book by Dr. Issurin, published by Ultimate

Athlete Concepts, is to provide basic knowledge on general training,

summarize up-to-date information on the concepts of training effects

and athletes' trainability, and to share new knowledge on training

design and evaluation in the view of the Block Periodization system.

The book contains materials and findings, which taken as a whole are

devoted to reaching the aforementioned purposes. The basic terms,

methods and principles of sport training, which clarify the

comprehensive mechanism of physical fitness improvement, are

presented in up-to-date interpretations. In particular, the effects

produced by systematic training are a major focus of the author. An

unequivocal understanding of training effects requires special

elucidation which the author provides. Indeed, practical needs

dictate making a distinction between short-term and long-term

responses in athletes; such relatively new concepts as delayed and

residual training effects have great importance both as a scientific

background and practically, for the designing of training programs.

Likewise, athlete trainability, meaning the ability to respond

positively to training workloads, takes on paramount importance in

sport science and athletic training. All these aspects are thoroughly

considered with special attention given to the practical needs of

coaches and athletes.

A substantial part of the book is devoted to designing training

programs. The author's description touches on traditional training

periodization, which was promulgated more than five decades ago, and

non-traditional approaches such as Block Periodization, which

continue to draw the interest of coaches, athletes, and training

analysts. Readers will find unfamiliar thoughts and concepts about

Block Periodized training. More specifically, aspects of peaking that

are extremely important for competitive sport are considered in light

of Block Periodization and the successful experiences of top-level

athletes. The modeling approaches, which are presented in the final

chapter of the book, can be very productive in terms of elucidating

training targets, individual and collective norms of sport-specific

abilities and training workloads. All parts of the book contain

unique findings of the author, which were collected during his long-

term practical work with Eastern European (mostly Soviet) and Western

coaches and athletes.
