The literature on track cycling is pretty limited and there seems to be little that directly looks at track training programs.
Any help will be welcome! Cheers
There is a lot of training principle crossover from sprint running. How you do it depends and what you body responds to depends as well. You will see some reference to Charlie Francis in UpUpUp these days and his books may be a good addition to your reading. UpUpUp is possibly the best track sprint cycling resource there is period.
