Vast quantities of literature regarding the applications of exercise therapy for sarcopenia have been published. The main objective of this study is to determine the top 100 most-cited articles and analyze their bibliometric characteristics.
This study reports a bibliometric analysis a systematic search of the academic literature regarding the applications of exercise therapy for sarcopenia.
All databases in the Web of Science were searched with the following strategy: term search (TS) = (exercise OR training OR "physical activit") AND TS = (sarcopenia) on 25 February 2022. The results were presented in descending order by their total citations. The list of the top 100 articles was finally determined by negotiation of two independent researchers.
The top 100 articles were published between 1993 and 2020. More than half of the articles ( = 54) were published during the decade 2006-2015. Total citations of the top 100 articles ranged from 155 to 1,131 with a median of 211.5. The average of annual citations was constantly increasing with year ( < 0.05). The most studied exercise therapy is strength/resistance training, with about 71% articles had discussed about it. The top 100 articles were from 54 different journals, and the was the journal that contributed the most articles ( = 8). A total of 75 different first corresponding authors from 15 countries made contributions to the top 100 list. Luc J.C. van Loon from the Maastricht University in the Netherlands published the most articles ( = 5) as the first corresponding author. Most articles (87%) were from North America (58%) and Europe (29%), while the United States as a country contributed over half of the articles (51%).
Our study determined the top 100 most-cited articles on exercise therapy for sarcopenia and analyzed their bibliometric characteristics, which may provide a recommended list for researchers in this field and pave the way for further research.
关于运动疗法在肌肉减少症应用方面的大量文献已发表。本研究的主要目的是确定被引用次数最多的100篇文章，并分析其文献计量学特征。
本研究报告了一项文献计量学分析，即对关于运动疗法在肌肉减少症应用方面的学术文献进行系统检索。
于2022年2月25日使用以下策略检索科学网中的所有数据库：主题检索（TS）=（运动或训练或“身体活动”）且TS =（肌肉减少症）。结果按总被引次数降序排列。最终由两名独立研究人员协商确定前100篇文章的列表。
前100篇文章发表于1993年至2020年之间。超过一半的文章（n = 54）发表于2006 - 2015年这十年间。前100篇文章的总被引次数在155至1131之间，中位数为211.5。年平均被引次数随年份不断增加（P < 0.05）。研究最多的运动疗法是力量/阻力训练，约71%的文章对此进行了讨论。前100篇文章来自54种不同的期刊，其中《》是发表文章最多的期刊（n = 8）。来自15个国家的75位不同的第一通讯作者对前100篇文章列表做出了贡献。荷兰马斯特里赫特大学的卢克·J·C·范·隆作为第一通讯作者发表的文章最多（n = 5）。大多数文章（87%）来自北美（58%）和欧洲（29%），而美国作为一个国家贡献了超过一半的文章（51%）。
我们的研究确定了关于肌肉减少症运动疗法被引用次数最多的100篇文章，并分析了其文献计量学特征，这可能为该领域的研究人员提供一份推荐列表，并为进一步研究铺平道路。
