This paper is regarded domestic and international scientific literature of track and field from 1998 to 2014 as research object.With the introduction of the theory and method of knowledge map,the paper is aimed to investigate the current situation and the progress of the research of domestic and international track and field,research power,knowledge base,research theme and topic evolution,analyzes their theme differences influence mechanism,and to our provide reference and reference to country’ s track and field sports scientific research,policy formulation and international cooperation.Specific conclusions are as follows:First of all,countries/regions,institutions and authors network were analysized to understand the research strength of the domestic and international track and field sports,its results showed that three network are concentrated and discrete coexist non equilibrium characteristics;the United States is center of the international track and field research,colleges and universities are the main position of the track and field research.Noakes,Keith and Knechtle are core author abroad;and Jian Luo,Huisong Xie and Botao Yan are core ones in China.Secondly,Based on co-citation network of literature,periodicals and cited authors,the paper is insighted into knowledge base of domestic and international track and field to found that the three network shows the complex network characteristics.Med Sci Sport is the highest cited journals from co citation complex network;while Athletics is highest cited journals,they were carried the main carrier of knowledge of domestic and international track and field sports.Costill DL,Lucia Knechtle,B are high cited authors in the research of track and field abroad,Maijiu T.Chao W.are the study of athletics domestic high cited authors,and they are the core author of the research of the track and field in our country,and grasp the direction of the knowledge flow research of the track and field.Again,Through the analysis of the track and field sports study subject knowledge map,we found abroad mainstream research field and key research direction:sports injury biomechanics research,and physical science research,strength and explosive force research,fatigue and recovery,endurance training and etc.;but in our country,mainly concentrated on the altitude training,technical analysis and diagnosis,and social science,athletic training and so on.Finally,Through the analysis theme evolution characteristics of domestic and international track and field research with knowledge map,Research found that strength and explosive force had been hot spot abroad,and pay attention to public health and preventive and rehabilitative;meanwhile athletic training is always the focus of domestic track and field research,and pay attention to sports biomechanics of track and field sports technical support.with the movement of the iceberg theory,it analyzes the influential factors of knowledge map in track and field research.To sum up,with the development of track and field research,On the one hand,wo must strengthen the international cooperation and exchanges in the field of track and field s to move more fully into the world;Draw lessons from foreign athletics development,we richen research topic,to create a good environment for scientific research,to establish norms of scientific research management mechanism,to improve the academic level of scientific research personnel of track and field in China and to promote the development of track and field rapidly and healthily. |
