New Horizons for the Methodology and Physiology of Training Periodization

Block Periodization: New Horizon or a False Dawn?

Author: John Kiely

Published in: Sports Medicine | Issue 9/2010

Excerpt

Professor Issurin’s review[1] is to be commended on its overview of the historical evolution of periodization planning theory and the interesting general discussion. However, the central contention of the review, i.e. that block periodization represents a ‘new horizon’ in training planning, is, I suggest, premature and unsupported. …
