Issurins books, IMO, are the most current in terms of actual information. Keep in mind that even his block training isn’t appropriate for all sports.
Transfer of Training vol 2 by Bondarchuk is also worth looking at. Skip Vol 1 it says nothing useful.
Harre is all old school linear periodization. Only long duration enduros and beginners even consider that model. SAme for Matveyev’s book (Harre’s book is just the german version of Matveyev)
Dick’s stuff is the same, old school linear.
Kurz is Russki gibberish
Supertraining, well…good damn luck if you can get anything applied or useful out of it. It’s also years out of date. And Russki gibberish.
Honestly, the best overview I’ve seen of periodization models was, in all places, the ISU hadnbook of speed skating. It looked at Matveyev periodization, Verkoshanksy, Tschiene and anther I forget. And even talked about how each might apply to different events and goals (e.g. long duration specialists vs. sprinters and beginners vs. elite).,
Thanks Lyle. I think I have that chapter from Speed Skating book. Will check it out.
