A substantial part of the book is devoted to designing training programs. It touches on traditional training periodization which was promulgated more than five decades ago, and nontraditional approaches such as block periodization which continues to draw the interest of coaches, athletes, and training analysts.

Last but not least is his treatment of modeling that can be very productive in terms of finalizing the training targets, individual and collective norms of sport specific abilities and training workloads. This information together with the other information presented, reflect the long-term practical work that has been done with East European (mostly Soviet) and Western coaches and athletes. Learn the secrets of successful athletic training
