I am sure listmembers will be sad to learn of the recent death of Dr Mel
Siff.He was a regular contributor to this list,and ran the excellent
Supertraining list.He was a man of great intelligence and demonstrated a
vast knowledge in the fields of exercise physiology,sports training and
rehabilitation to mention but two.His textbook "Supertraining"is among the
most comprehensive I have read,and together with his numerous contributions
to this and other lists,has been a significant influence on my approach to
exercise and rehabilitation.In particular,he encouraged me to question many
of the exercise fads which periodically sweep through our profession.
I am sure others will wish to add their tributes.
