Rehabilitation Is the Main Topic in Virtual and Augmented Reality and Physical Activity Research: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract: 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… Show more

“…In addition, the present study provides useful information for experts who seek to know the current status related to the study object [ 37 ], as well as finding research groups with a high number of publications and connections between authors from different countries. It is also observed that to date no multidisciplinary work groups have been formed, nor relevant collaborations between groups, institutions, and countries with the purpose of increasing the productivity, effectiveness [ 41 ], and quality of the investigations related to physical activity and healthy habits. Therefore, the great interest of developed countries in promoting healthy habits in their corresponding populations can be seen.…”

“…For the search and identification of documents, the Web of Science (WOS) database has been used. With the purpose of obtaining the largest number of documents related to the subject of the study, this database was selected, since it is the one that encompasses the largest number of documents, as it is the most used in the scientific literature for performing two analyses [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]. This database offers information on journals classified according to their main thematic topics, as well as on their influence in the scientific field [ 42 ].…”

“…The VOSviewer software (version 1.6.20) [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ] is used to create bibliographic connection between word clouds on GPU-based parallel processing for brain MRIs, as seen in Figure 2 . Therefore, in Figure 2 , there are a total of seven different clusters with different colors and 122 keywords shown for the timeline between 2019 and 2023.…”

“…Therefore, it is deemed relevant to assess the state of scientific research in artistic gymnastics, akin to previous analyses in other sports like judo (Caravaca, Hernandez-Garcia, & Garciade-Alcaraz, 2018), badminton (Blanca-Torres, Ortega, Nikolaidis, & Torres-Luque, 2020), or collective sports (Mamani-Jilaja, Huayanca-Medina, Casa-Coila, Vilca-Apaza, & Romero-Carazas, 2023). Through a bibliometric analysis (Denche-Zamorano et al, 2023;Leite et al, 2023;Vargas & Capraro, 2020), this study aims to analyze the growth, size, and distribution of scientific publications related to artistic gymnastics. Additionally, it seeks to identify prolific and prominent authors, journals, countries, keywords, and highly cited documents, both in the general domain of artistic gymnastics and in its male and female modalities.…”
