Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgery

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Isometric exercise, Strength training and Testosterone. His Internal medicine course of study focuses on Athletes and Myosin and Biopsy. Markku Alen has included themes like Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Muscle hypertrophy, Cardiology, Jumping and Muscle fibre in his Isometric exercise study.

His studies in Physical medicine and rehabilitation integrate themes in fields like Physical therapy, Confidence interval, Muscle contraction and Skeletal muscle. His study in Strength training is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vastus lateralis muscle, Preferred walking speed, Physical strength, Electromyography and Physical exercise. His Testosterone research incorporates themes from Hydrocortisone, Basal and Androgen.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 56 bone mineral density loci and reveals 14 loci associated with risk of fracture (845 citations)
  • Changes in agonist-antagonist EMG, muscle CSA, and force during strength training in middle-aged and older people (652 citations)
  • Changes in isometric force‐ and relaxation‐time, electromyographic and muscle fibre characteristics of human skeletal muscle during strength training and detraining (450 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Physical therapy, Strength training and Isometric exercise. His Internal medicine research includes themes of Twin study and Cardiology. His Physical therapy study incorporates themes from Insomnia, Randomized controlled trial, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Hip fracture.

His Insomnia study also includes fields such as

  • Overweight that connect with fields like Aerobic exercise,
  • Obesity most often made with reference to Body mass index. Markku Alen interconnects Endurance training, VO2 max and Surgery in the investigation of issues within Strength training. His Isometric exercise study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Electromyography and Muscle contraction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (69.72%)
  • Endocrinology (57.77%)
  • Physical therapy (35.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (69.72%)
  • Endocrinology (57.77%)
  • Physical therapy (35.86%)

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

Markku Alen mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Physical therapy, Overweight and Randomized controlled trial. His research on Internal medicine often connects related areas such as Longitudinal study. While working on this project, Markku Alen studies both Endocrinology and Context.

In the subject of general Physical therapy, his work in Rehabilitation is often linked to Injury prevention, thereby combining diverse domains of study. In his work, Age and gender, Sex factors and Bone remodeling is strongly intertwined with Bioinformatics, which is a subfield of Overweight. His Randomized controlled trial research incorporates elements of Aerobic exercise, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Activities of daily living.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genetic determinants of heel bone properties: Genome-wide association meta-analysis and replication in the GEFOS/GENOMOS consortium (66 citations)
  • Serum metabolic profiles in overweight and obese women with and without metabolic syndrome (51 citations)
  • Serum metabolic profiles in overweight and obese women with and without metabolic syndrome (51 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Endocrinology

Markku Alen focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Obesity, Adipose tissue and Insulin resistance. The various areas that Markku Alen examines in his Internal medicine study include Genetics and Oncology. His work on Skeletal muscle, Hormone and Estrogen as part of general Endocrinology study is frequently linked to Monozygotic twin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Obesity research includes elements of Body mass index and Body weight. As a part of the same scientific family, Markku Alen mostly works in the field of Body mass index, focusing on Insomnia and, on occasion, Physical therapy. His study looks at the relationship between Adipose tissue and topics such as Inflammation, which overlap with Gut flora, Insulin receptor, Leptin and Adipose tissue macrophages.
