Various studies have applied the 20-meter shuttle run test (20mSRT) to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness in different population groups, with the aim of associating test performance with the physiological, psychosocial, and cognitive health of children and young people. However, to date, no bibliometric review that analyzes the research landscape has been conducted. The objective was to conduct a bibliometric review to develop an overview of the current state of scientific literature and identify research trends in the study of the 20mSRT in the Web of Science and PubMed databases.
The final sample consisted of 797 documents. For the publication period, between 2010 and 2021, there was a considerable increase of 248.1% of the number of investigations. The year 2011 had the highest citation count, and the trend reveals low citation rates for the years 2018 and 2023, with decreases of -70.40% and -86.65% compared with the years 2012 and 2019, respectively.
Most of the production is in research articles (95.98%). The most cited authors are Ruiz, Castro-Piñero, Mayorga-Vega, Ortega, and Tomkinson. The five concepts with the highest occurrence in the research are children ( = 290), cardiorespiratory fitness ( = 205), adolescents ( = 203), performance ( = 164), and aerobic fitness ( = 146). The journals with the most published documents are the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research ( = 45), the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health ( = 42), and the Journal of Sports Sciences ( = 25). The countries with the highest number of published documents and citations are Spain ( = 187 documents and 6,209 citations), the United States ( = 112 documents and 3,475 citations), Australia ( = 85 documents and 2,393 citations), and Sweden ( = 54 documents and 4,121 citations).
An analysis of the existing knowledge produced by the 20mSRT revealed that there is a preference for studying the school-age stage, with cardiorespiratory fitness variables associated with physical activity and sedentary time. Finally, there are different applications of the 20mSRT in various population groups, ranging from the evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness in children, adolescents, and adults, as well as in specific groups of athletes.
多项研究已应用20米穿梭跑测试（20mSRT）来评估不同人群的心肺适能，目的是将测试表现与儿童和青少年的生理、心理社会及认知健康联系起来。然而，迄今为止，尚未进行过分析该研究领域的文献计量学综述。本研究的目的是进行一次文献计量学综述，以概述科学文献的现状，并确定科学网（Web of Science）和医学期刊数据库（PubMed）中20mSRT研究的趋势。
最终样本包括797篇文献。在2010年至2021年的发表期内，调查数量大幅增长了248.1%。2011年的被引频次最高，趋势显示2018年和2023年的被引率较低，与2012年和2019年相比，分别下降了-70.40%和-86.65%。
大部分成果以研究论文形式呈现（95.98%）。被引频次最高的作者是鲁伊斯、卡斯特罗 - 皮涅罗、马约尔加 - 维加、奥尔特加和汤姆金森。研究中出现频次最高的五个概念是儿童（=290）、心肺适能（=205）、青少年（=203）、表现（=164）和有氧适能（=146）。发表文献最多的期刊是《力量与体能训练研究杂志》（=45）、《国际环境研究与公共卫生杂志》（=42）和《运动科学杂志》（=25）。发表文献数量和被引频次最多的国家是西班牙（=187篇文献，6209次被引）、美国（=112篇文献，3475次被引）、澳大利亚（=85篇文献，2393次被引）和瑞典（=54篇文献，4121次被引）。
对20mSRT所产生的现有知识进行分析后发现，研究倾向于学龄阶段，心肺适能变量与身体活动和久坐时间相关。最后，20mSRT在不同人群中有不同应用，从儿童、青少年和成年人的心肺适能评估，到特定运动员群体。
