TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide greater clarity on how the GAS serves as an appropriate mechanistic model to conceptualize the periodization of training.

TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of block periodization concepts and associated methods of programming for strength-power training within track and field is presented, focusing primarily on the effect of the manner and phases in which training is presented to the athlete.

TL;DR: Periodization embraces training principles and offers advantages in planning, allowing for logical integration and manipulation of training variables such as exercise selection, intensification, and volume factors.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to summarize the magnitudes and methods of AEL application, the acute and chronic implications, the potential mechanisms by which AEL enhances acute and Chronic performance, and the limitations of current research and the potential for future study.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RISR training yielded greater improvements in vertical jump, rate of force development, and maximal strength compared to RM training, which may partly be explained by differences in the imposed training stress and the use of failure/non-failure training in a well-trained population.
