“…In order to highlight the co-authors who accumulated the most citations among articles analyzed, the Hirsch index (h-index) ( 44 ) was applied, considering the most influential co-authors to be the h co-authors with h number of citations among the articles analyzed. The h-index was also used to highlight the most cited documents, considering these as the most influential ( 28 ) in the subject ( 37 ). The words of greatest interest to the researchers were identified by applying Zipf’s law to the author keywords used in the set of articles ( 45 ).…”

Breast cancer is a pathology suffered by millions of women worldwide, affecting the mental health, quality of life (QoL), physical functioning, cognitive functioning, and social and work life of surviving patients. Moreover, breast cancer is associated with weight gain, muscle atrophy, and weakness. Physical exercise appears to be an effective non-pharmacological treatment to improve short-term self-esteem, QoL, fatigue, and psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, happiness, and body image. The practice of physical activity is also associated with a reduction in the side effects of treatment. This bibliometric analysis analyzed the trend followed by publications on breast cancer and physical activity. The Web of Science database was used, and bibliometric laws were applied to identify the most prolific authors, the journals most involved in the field, and the countries, institutions, and keywords most used by the authors. Breast cancer and physical activity have an exponential trend in the number of publications, with Psycho-Oncology being the journal with the highest number of publications.

“…1) We invited the most productive and relevant research groups on WB-EMS ( Rodrigues-Santana et al, 2022 ) so as to generate a broad base for consensus-driven recommendations. In detail, scientific expert groups from Brazil (AE), Germany (MF, OL, CE, MT,AW, HK, FM, NW, CZ, AF, BW, and JB), Italy (SD), Spain (UP, ACC, AG, and FAG) and the US (JD and AL) responded to the invitation of the UKER, Germany (WK, SvS, and SB) that initiated and coordinated the consensus process.…”

Position statement and updated international guideline for safe and effective whole-body electromyostimulation training-the need for common sense in WB-EMS application

et al. 2023

Whole-Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is a training technology that enables simultaneous stimulation of all the main muscle groups with a specific impulse intensity for each electrode. The corresponding time-efficiency and joint-friendliness of WB-EMS may be particularly attractive for people unable or unmotivated to conduct (intense) conventional training protocols. However, due to the enormous metabolic and musculoskeletal impact of WB-EMS, particular attention must be paid to the application of this technology. In the past, several scientific and newspaper articles reported severe adverse effects of WB-EMS. To increase the safety of commercial non-medical WB-EMS application, recommendations “for safe and effective whole-body electromyostimulation” were launched in 2016. However, new developments and trends require an update of these recommendations to incorporate more international expertise with demonstrated experience in the application of WB-EMS. The new version of these consensus-based recommendations has been structured into 1) “general aspects of WB-EMS”, 2) “preparation for training”, recommendations for the 3) “WB-EMS application” itself and 4) “safety aspects during and after training”. Key topics particularly addressed are 1) consistent and close supervision of WB-EMS application, 2) mandatory qualification of WB-EMS trainers, 3) anamnesis and corresponding consideration of contraindications prior to WB-EMS, 4) the participant’s proper preparation for the session, 5) careful preparation of the WB-EMS novice, 6) appropriate regeneration periods between WB-EMS sessions and 7) continuous interaction between trainer and participant at a close physical distance. In summary, we are convinced that the present guideline will contribute to greater safety and effectiveness in the area of non-medical commercial WB-EMS application.

“…The Hirsch index (h-index) was used to identify the most prominent co-authors, with the most productive being those with the highest number of citations among the analysed papers [ 74 , 75 ]. The most relevant contributions were considered to be those with h or the highest number of citations, based on the h-index [ 75 , 76 ]. The most relevant author keywords for co-authors were highlighted by applying Zipf’s law to the keywords used in the whole set of studies [ 77 ].…”

Researchers’ interest in finding practical applications for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies has increased as new devices have become cheaper and more accessible, being used in entertainment, healthcare, and rehabilitation fields, among others. This study aims to provide an overview of the current state of scientific literature related to VR, AR, and physical activity (PA). A bibliometric analysis of studies published between 1994 and 2022 was conducted using The Web of Science (WoS), applying the traditional bibliometric laws and using the VOSviewer software for data and metadata processing. The results revealed an exponential increase in scientific production between 2009 and 2021 (R2 = 94%). The United States (USA) was the country/region with the most relevant co-authorship networks (72 papers); the most prolific author was Kerstin Witte, and the most prominent was Richard Kulpa. The most productive journal’s core was composed of high-impact and open access journals. A great thematic diversity was found according to the most used keywords by the co-authors, highlighting concepts such as rehabilitation, cognition, training, and obesity. Then, the research related to this topic is in an exponential development phase, with great interest in the rehabilitation and sports sciences fields.
