Dr. Mel Siff's Forum
This space contains a selection of unique educational materials conceived by Dr Siff as a brain-teasing resource aimed at investigating existing ideas and appplications of exercise science and biomechanics. Its central feature is his collection of "Puzzles and Paradoxes (P&Ps) of Exercises Science" which encourages the use of creative methods of thinking or Propositional Analysis to re-examine the scientist's view of the world of human performance, in a manner like that of the classical Grecian philosophers.. Its aim is not so much to provide definitive answers, but more to stimulate one's powers of critical thinking, logical reasoning, problem-solving and decision-making.
