Bibliometrics And Visual Analysis Of Adolescent Sports Health Promotion Research In China

The eighth physical and health survey report of Chinese students has shown that the health level of young people in China is not optimistic.The physical fitness of adolescents has declined and various chronic diseases have begun to show a low age.Nowadays,the combination of sports and health promotion has gradually become an effective way to improve health in the world with a new significance,and related scientific research has also become a hot spot for the academic circles.The theoretical research of the adolescent sports health promotion in China is also constantly enriched with the continuous emergence of young people’s health problems,and the scientific research results of youth sports health promotion can also guide the development of young people’s health promotion to a certain extent.Therefore,analysis and research on existing research results help better development in the field.In this study,the bibliometric method and Cite Space visualization method were used to statistically organize 987 scientific research literatures on youth sports health promotion published from 1992-2021 in the selected Chinese core journals.Inquiry from many aspects of the stage distribution,research subjects,research methods and research hotspots,etc.,have an objective understanding of the course of the research on the promotion of sports health in China,the following conclusions are drawn:(1)From 1992 to 2021,the annual volume of literature on teenage sports health promotion in China increased in a wave pattern.this study divides it into four stages:preliminary development stage(1992-1999),the accelerated development stage(2000-2009),the slow development stage(2010-2015),and fluctuation development stage(2016-2021).In the future,the number of issues in the field of adolescent sports health promotion research in China will still maintain an upward trend.(2)From the perspective of research subjects,there is an increasing number of researchers participating in the promotion of adolescent sports health in China,forming a small part of cooperative research teams that spread outward by core authors as the center.The main form of cooperation is between teachers and students within the institution and between colleagues;Shanghai University of Sport,Beijing Sport University,and East China Normal University are the main forces in this research field.High-yield authors and institutions are concentrated in the economically developed regions of the northeast of China.In contrast,research institutions in the southwest are relatively discrete,showing regional differences.However,most authors and institutions still maintain independent research and lack of communication.(3)In the study of the youth sports health promotion in China,there are both quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis.Among them,there are more applied studies from real problems.Scientific research methods are mainly based on questionnaire survey,literature,experiment method and interview method.However,Chinese scholars have a single use of research methods when conducting research,and have a low utilization rate of emerging mathematical models for data analysis and effectiveness testing.(4)The overall changes in the research of youth sports health promotion in China are closely related to the introduction of national policies,the development of economic and social development,and the needs of young people’s health,showing the characteristics of policy-oriented and problem-oriented.The research focuses mainly on research on the current situation of the adolescent health level and its influencing factors,research on school health education reform and content system construction,research on the integration of school health education and physical education,research on sports promoting adolescent physical health,research on sports promoting adolescent mental health,research on the use of physical medicine integration in the promotion of youth health,etc.In the future,scholars’ research on youth physical health,research on psychological health measurement and related policies will not be reduced,and the research of physical medicine integration will gradually become another focus of research in this field.Based on the above conclusions,the following suggestions are made: strengthen academic exchanges and explore innovative research on integration with different disciplines;improve the scientific nature of the research method;increase research on the establishment of the effect of the evaluation system of youth sports health promotion;carry out a long-term tracking research on the promotion of Chinese youth sports health.Constantly improve the research system of adolescent physical health promotion in China,and improve the health of young people to the greatest extent.
