Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Disease

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Physical therapy, Psychological intervention, Behavior change, Randomized controlled trial and Intervention. Her Physical therapy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Analysis of variance and Physical activity interventions. Her Psychological intervention research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gerontology and Health promotion.

Her research integrates issues of Developmental psychology, Social cognitive theory, Applied psychology and Clinical psychology in her study of Behavior change. Her Randomized controlled trial research includes elements of Social psychology, Affect, Health psychology and Clinical trial. The study incorporates disciplines such as Psychosocial, Social support, Calorie and Risk factor in addition to Intervention.

Her most cited work include:

  • Physical Activity and Public Health: A Recommendation From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine (6620 citations)
  • Stages of change and decisional balance for 12 problem behaviors (2130 citations)
  • Exercise and Physical Activity in the Prevention and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease A Statement From the Council on Clinical Cardiology (Subcommittee on Exercise, Rehabilitation, and Prevention) and the Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism (Subcommittee on Physical Activity) (1841 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her main research concerns Physical therapy, Randomized controlled trial, Intervention, Psychological intervention and Gerontology. She interconnects Clinical trial and Weight loss in the investigation of issues within Physical therapy. In her work, Social cognitive theory is strongly intertwined with Transtheoretical model, which is a subfield of Randomized controlled trial.

Bess H. Marcus combines subjects such as Health education and Physical medicine and rehabilitation with her study of Intervention. Her research in Psychological intervention intersects with topics in Health promotion, Health psychology, Clinical psychology, Behavior change and Social support. Her Gerontology research incorporates themes from Health equity and Public health.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Physical therapy (49.32%)
  • Randomized controlled trial (36.82%)
  • Intervention (29.55%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Randomized controlled trial (36.82%)
  • Physical therapy (49.32%)
  • Intervention (29.55%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Bess H. Marcus mainly investigates Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Intervention, Psychological intervention and Clinical psychology. Her Randomized controlled trial research includes themes of Social support, Obesity, Type 2 diabetes and Behavior change. Bess H. Marcus has researched Physical therapy in several fields, including Psychosocial, Intervention effect and Anxiety sensitivity.

Her Intervention research focuses on subjects like Cognition, which are linked to Transtheoretical model. Her study on Psychological intervention also encompasses disciplines like

  • Health equity which intersects with area such as Gerontology, Health promotion and Underserved Population,
  • eHealth that intertwine with fields like Baseline activity. Her studies deal with areas such as Socioeconomic status and Public health as well as Gerontology.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Self-efficacy versus perceived enjoyment as predictors of physical activity behaviour. (74 citations)
  • Effect of Exercise Duration and Intensity on Weight Loss in Overweight, Sedentary Women (66 citations)
  • Integrating Physical Activity in Primary Care Practice (62 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Disease

Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Intervention, Psychological intervention and Gerontology are her primary areas of study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Psychosocial, Young adult, Behavior change, PsycINFO and Social support. The various areas that Bess H. Marcus examines in her Physical therapy study include Overweight and Anxiety sensitivity.

Her Intervention study combines topics in areas such as Acculturation, Social psychology, Odds and Calorie. In general Psychological intervention study, her work on Physical activity interventions often relates to the realm of Web application, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Obesity, Health equity, Health psychology, Public health and Tailored Intervention.
