This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles to examine research trends, hot topics, and gaps in aerobic fitness research in children and adolescents, addressing the lack of evidence synthesis.
The Web of Science Core Collection database was used for literature search, and bibliometric characteristics of the included research articles were imported and calculated. Descriptive statistics and visualizations by the VOS viewer were used for the presentation of bibliometric characteristics.
The 100 most cited articles received an average of 104 citations. British Journal of Sports Medicine and Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise were the two top journals that published aerobic fitness research in children and adolescents. The United States was the top country that contributed to the most-cited research articles. Three top research topics were identified from the analysis, such as neuroscience, developmental psychology, and aerobic health.
Aerobic fitness research in children and adolescents has received much attention and interest since 2000. The most contributing authors in this research field were from developed countries, such as the United States, and cognition and health-related research were priorities.
本研究旨在对被引用次数最多的100篇文章进行文献计量分析，以探讨儿童和青少年有氧适能研究的趋势、热点话题及差距，弥补证据综合方面的不足。
使用科学网核心合集数据库进行文献检索，并导入和计算所纳入研究文章的文献计量特征。采用描述性统计和VOSviewer可视化工具展示文献计量特征。
100篇被引用次数最多的文章平均被引用104次。《英国运动医学杂志》和《运动与锻炼医学与科学》是发表儿童和青少年有氧适能研究的两大顶级期刊。美国是发表被引用次数最多的研究文章的主要国家。分析确定了三个顶级研究主题，如神经科学、发展心理学和有氧健康。
自2000年以来，儿童和青少年有氧适能研究受到了广泛关注和兴趣。该研究领域的主要贡献作者来自美国等发达国家，认知和健康相关研究是重点。
