Dr. Julia Alleyne looks at the importance and possibilities that exercise unlock in life by providing insight into the accomplishments of women in sport and promotes healthy active living throughout the complete life cycle.

Lessons from a Decade of Olympics

There's more to the Olympics than meet the eye. One of the most prestigious competitions for sport, it is also an intense, strenuous situation for competitors.
