Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • World War II
  • Statistics

His primary areas of investigation include Demography, Physical therapy, Anthropometry, Physical fitness and Body mass index. His work investigates the relationship between Demography and topics such as Bone age that intersect with problems in Goal orientation. He has included themes like Developmental psychology and Energy expenditure in his Physical therapy study.

His work carried out in the field of Anthropometry brings together such families of science as Stepwise regression, Social psychology, Trunk and Maturity. His research in Physical fitness intersects with topics in Gerontology, Cardiorespiratory fitness, Physical education, Motor coordination and Physical exercise. His research integrates issues of Cross-sectional study and Obesity in his study of Body mass index.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence based physical activity for school-age youth. (3118 citations)
  • Growth, Maturation, and Physical Activity (1529 citations)
  • Tracking of Physical Activity and Physical Fitness across the Lifespan (626 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Demography, Physical therapy, Anthropometry, Gerontology and Body mass index. His work deals with themes such as Bone age, Obesity, Maturity and Body size, which intersect with Demography. His work on Skeletal maturation is typically connected to Chronological age as part of general Bone age study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Athletes and Physical fitness are the core of his Physical therapy study. In most of his Athletes studies, his work intersects topics such as Developmental psychology. The research on Internal medicine and Endocrinology is part of his Body mass index project.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Demography (46.37%)
  • Physical therapy (18.97%)
  • Anthropometry (17.10%)

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

  • Demography (46.37%)
  • Jet fuel (5.39%)
  • Physical therapy (18.97%)

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

Robert M. Malina mainly investigates Demography, Jet fuel, Physical therapy, Bone age and Maturity. His studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Physical fitness, Cardiorespiratory fitness, Anthropometry and Body size. Robert M. Malina has researched Jet fuel in several fields, including Production and Biofuel.

Robert M. Malina interconnects Body mass index and Sedentary lifestyle, Obesity in the investigation of issues within Physical therapy. In his study, Gerontology is inextricably linked to Aerobic exercise, which falls within the broad field of Bone age. While the research belongs to areas of Maturity, he spends his time largely on the problem of Biological maturation, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Football.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • International Olympic Committee consensus statement on youth athletic development (305 citations)
  • International Olympic Committee consensus statement on youth athletic development (305 citations)
  • Production of renewable jet fuel range alkanes and commodity chemicals from integrated catalytic processing of biomass (238 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • World War II
  • Statistics

Robert M. Malina mainly investigates Waste management, Jet fuel, Biofuel, Physical therapy and Diesel fuel. His Waste management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Renewable energy, Environmental engineering and Greenhouse gas. His Biofuel research integrates issues from Biomass and Life-cycle assessment.

His Physical therapy study also includes fields such as

  • Obesity, which have a strong connection to Body mass index,
  • Anthropometry, which have a strong connection to Sexual maturity. The Body mass index study combines topics in areas such as Physical fitness, Physical education and Motor skill. His study in Demography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cardiorespiratory fitness, Aerobic exercise, Gerontology and Biological maturation.
