General

It is important to remember that Biomch-L is a give-and-take forum.  So please provide some interesting background information about your project, and summarize what you already have found elsewhere.   This has several advantages:

• Your question will be more specific (e.g. "I found X and Y, and I am still looking for Z", insteaf of "I am looking for articles on the biomechanics of running").  The responses will then be more specific and more useful to you.
• The "experts" will respect you and will be more likely to respond to your question
• The other subscribers will find your posting interesting, and will remain subscribed to Biomch-L.  Without a large subscriber base, calls for help are not effective.

Good places to look before you post on Biomch-L are:

• Biomch-L archives (the question may have been asked before!)
• PubMed
• Google scholar
• General internet search engines
