Will,
You stated "It makes me wonder whether we should do something to encourage
increases in membership and messages on this list, or pull the plug, or are you
generally happy with it?" and asked for comments.
I belong to both groups and have posted on both in the past. While there is not
as much activity/members for the Sport Science group, at times
Supertraining is just too much. It can be inundated with "opinions"
and anecdotal information that come from the uneducated and perpetuate
training practices that can be detrimental to success and risk injury. It's not
that there shouldn't be this type of interaction, but it does get a bit tiresome
seeing information that requires basic education of the lay person. I have come
to see the site as an education for the lay folks with some good advanced points
appearing every once in a while.
I would like to see more interaction on Sport Science, with an emphasis that it
is geared to sharing educational questions advancing what we know
and sharing what we have found out.
Thanks Will!
