The search for alternatives to improve physical performance is rising, and in recent years has been focused on the brain. No bibliometric study analyzing research on physical activity (PA) and transcranial stimulation has been found in the scientific literature. Aims: To provide an overview of the existing scientific research on PA and transcranial brain stimulation in healthy and sports participants, using a bibliometric analysis and graphic mapping of the references in the field. To do this, we analyze annual publication trends in this area, identifying the most productive and cited authors, journals and countries with the highest number of publications, and the most cited documents and keywords.
Those publications related to this area, published in journals indexed in the web of science main collection were retrieved and analyzed using the traditional laws of bibliometrics.
A total of 305 documents were found. Annual publications followed an exponential growth trend (R2 = 94.2%); with A. J. Pearce (9 documents) is the most productive coauthor and M.C. Ridding, H. Theoret and M. Lassonde as the most prominent (with 5 most cited papers). The USA (67 papers) and the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (12 papers) were the most productive country and journal respectively. The paper "Action anticipation and motor resonance in elite basketball players" was the most cited paper and "transcranial magnetic stimulation" was the most used keyword.
There are extensive research networks throughout the world, with the USA leading the production. Publications on the issue are of high interest in the scientific community as an exponential increase in publications over the last few years was found. The contribution of these findings is to offer a complete picture of the relationship between PA and transcranial brain stimulation in healthy individuals and athletes. Therefore, this comprehensive analysis provides fruitful information for sports researchers and policymakers to make future correct decisions about how to better design and implement training interventions in these groups of individuals.
寻找改善身体表现的替代方法的需求日益增长,近年来,人们的关注点已转向大脑。在科学文献中,尚未发现针对体力活动 (PA) 和经颅刺激的文献计量研究。目的:通过对该领域参考文献的文献计量分析和图形绘制,提供关于健康和运动参与者中 PA 和经颅脑刺激的现有科学研究概述。在此过程中,我们分析了该领域的年度出版趋势,确定了最具生产力和引用率的作者、期刊和国家,以及最具引用价值的文献和关键词。
检索并分析了发表在科学引文索引核心合集索引期刊上的与该领域相关的出版物,使用传统的文献计量法进行分析。
共发现 305 篇文献。年度出版物呈指数增长趋势(R2=94.2%);A. J. Pearce(9 篇文章)是最具生产力的合著者,M.C. Ridding、H. Theoret 和 M. Lassonde 是最杰出的作者(有 5 篇最具引用价值的论文)。美国(67 篇文章)和期刊《人类神经科学前沿》(12 篇文章)是最具生产力的国家和期刊。论文“精英篮球运动员的动作预测和运动共鸣”是最具引用价值的论文,而“经颅磁刺激”是使用最多的关键词。
全球有广泛的研究网络,美国处于领先地位。近年来,出版物数量呈指数级增长,表明科学界对此问题的研究兴趣浓厚。这些发现的贡献在于提供了一个关于健康个体和运动员的 PA 和经颅脑刺激之间关系的全面图景。因此,这项综合分析为体育研究人员和政策制定者提供了有益的信息,以便他们在为这些人群设计和实施训练干预措施时做出正确的决策。
