Multi-targeted “mixed” training –sad outcomes:
Excessive workloads,
Accumulated fatigue,
High stress indices,
Conflicting physiological responses,
High risk of overtraining
“Mixed training produces mixed results” Stegeman,1981

Question
•Should many abilities be trained at the same time?
![Page 13: October 15.2010 Rowing Coaches’ Clinic · used to learn a lot about the Block Periodization and convince my Head coaches to program in the 2007/2008 season five ATR until the Olympic](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040904/5e78c2458ba0c66d357f6102/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Facts:•Simultaneousdevelopment of many abilities decreases effectiveness of training
•Body cannot simultaneouslyadapt to many training stimuli

The principal methodic demands to BP training were almost identical:
1) mesocycles-blocks where focused on minimal number of targets;
2) the total number of proposed blocks is relatively small;
3) the single mesocycle-block’s duration ranges within two-fore weeks;
4) joining of single mesocycles forms training stage;
5) a number of training stages forms annual cycle

Basic principles of BP
•High concentration of the training workloads
•Minimal number of abilities-targets within single block
•Consecutive development of many abilities
•Compilation and use of specialized mesocycles-blocks

• high training loads’ concentration
• residual training effects
• consecutive development
• training blocks taxonomy
• peaking

Facts:In qualified athletes highly concentrated training loads only provide sufficient training stimuli
In elite athletes 60-70% of total training time is devoted to minimal number of targeted abilities

The 2006/2007 season was scheduled for macrocycle Traditional model 20-week (October-March) and Two ATR until the World Championship in Duisburg in August. It was the first time in the Spanish canoeing executing a program with ATR and I had serious problems to convince the technical direction and management of sport to
achieve the macrocycle ATR. The results in Duisburg 2007 were not spectacular but I used to learn a lot about the Block Periodization and convince my Head coaches to program in the 2007/2008 season five ATR until the OlympicGames.
Carlos Perez and Saul Craviotto had no qualification for the Olympic Games and we had to get it in the European Championship in Milan. They had not ever done K-2 until
January 2008. In May they were 2º place in Europe Championship in Milan and in August were Olympic Champions. The Block Periodization had been helpful, two peaks so high in so short time.

Homeostatic regulation is a predominant mechanism for developing basic sport abilities like cardiorespiratory fitness, general neuro-muscular coordination, and morphological and organic adjustment of the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, homeostatic regulation serves as a dominant mechanism of adaptation to training in the early stages of long-term athletic preparation and for developing of basic motor and technical abilities in high-performance athletes.
In terms of BP these cycles are specified as accumulation mesocycle-blocks.

" Another major pathway involved in the stress mechanism is carried through the catecholamines liberated under the influence of an acetylcholine discharge, at autonomic nerve endings and in the adrenal medulla”
The Nature of Stressby Hans Selye
Stress adaptation
![Page 62: October 15.2010 Rowing Coaches’ Clinic · used to learn a lot about the Block Periodization and convince my Head coaches to program in the 2007/2008 season five ATR until the Olympic](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040904/5e78c2458ba0c66d357f6102/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The strong training stimuli elicited by workloads of high intensity mobilize the athlete’s energy resources in amounts that exceed the metabolic level necessary for homeostatic response. These increased demands trigger off profound endocrine responses, i.e., the secretion of stress hormones . Thus, highly intensive anaerobic glycolitic exercises produce a pronounced catecholamine response (Viru, 1985,1995), and the rapid secretion of cortisol, corticotropin and β –endorphin (Lehman, Keul,1981 ) .
In terms of BP this training specified as transmutation mesocycle-blocks.
Stress adaptation
![Page 63: October 15.2010 Rowing Coaches’ Clinic · used to learn a lot about the Block Periodization and convince my Head coaches to program in the 2007/2008 season five ATR until the Olympic](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040904/5e78c2458ba0c66d357f6102/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Preparation that entails the use of both types of t raining concurrently demands energy needs that surpassing the limits of homeostatic regulation. Corresponding ly, stress reactions become stronger. This more straine d metabolic and hormonal body environment suppresseshomeostatic responses and has a deleterious effect on workloads intended to develop basic athletic abilit ies. Such conflicting responses, which are typical of mi xed training among high-performance athletes, lead to a decline in general aerobic abilities, a reduction in muscle strength and cases of overtraining.
BP model allows to avoid such conflicting physiolog ical responses and exploits the most appropriate mode of biological adaptation.

I use this opportunity to express my appreciation of methodological recommendations of Prof. Issurin that have assisted me greatly in my work. Prof. Issurin belongs to category of scientists, who know and understand the needs of coaches and his work has expanded our knowledge and enriched our coaching abilities allowing us to strive and reach
better results.

Never before the coaches receive such practical and useful information on training
methodology and enhancement of athletic mastery. Using this knowledge the coaches and
athletes will be able to reach new heights and greater success. There is no science fiction – everything is
absolutely realistic.

It is quite easy for me to judge the Block Periodization System. Having been coached by Gennady Touretski I have never needed nor used any another system. Therefore, I highly recommend this book to every athlete, who would agree that better understanding can elicit better performance.

Conclusions1.Block Periodization as an alternative
training approach is worthy for learning and implementation in the preparation of high-performance swimmers
![Page 72: October 15.2010 Rowing Coaches’ Clinic · used to learn a lot about the Block Periodization and convince my Head coaches to program in the 2007/2008 season five ATR until the Olympic](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040904/5e78c2458ba0c66d357f6102/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
2.Basics of Block Periodization are formed by general principles of BP (1), taxonomy of mesocycles-blocks (2), and guidelines for compiling annual cycle (3)

3.Biological Background of Block Periodization is closely connected with two fundamental contributors of human adaptation: - classic theory of homeostasis, and - mechanisms of stress adaptation
