Dr. Weise’s primary research interests include the study of the effects of physical activity on blood lipid parameters and additional health parameters, with special emphasis as this relates to women with prevention strategies through exercise programming. She has uniquely studied a population subgroup including postmenopausal women and continues these efforts at the community level in her current position. Recently, she has examined physical activity parameters and health behaviors of both physical therapy graduate students and college students. She has received research grants and has presented locally and nationally on topic areas including: cardiopulmonary assessment for the clinician, women and heart disease and inter-disciplinary approaches to cardiac risk factor reduction in women.
