2000 Results Men Women Wheelers Melpomene Institute helps girls and women of all ages link physical activity and health through research, education and publication. Named for the first woman to run the marathon in Greece in 1896, Melpomene was founded in 1982 to study the effects of exercise on the female body. Back then, little research had been done on women's health, and almost nothing was available on the link between female health and physical activity. Melpomene's research proves age and gender have nothing to do with our ability to be physically active, and physical activity improves health for all women and girls. We are still the only organization in the country dedicated to helping women and girls break through the barriers that prevent them from being active.
