A total of 679 core journal papers retrieved from CNKI database were used as literature samples. CiteSpace software was used to visually analyze the titles, keywords, abstracts, and other literature materials. From the perspective of scientific knowledge graph, the distribution of authors and institutions with great influence in the research of aerobics was discussed. In order to clarify the research characteristics of aerobics, hot subjects and frontier evolution. Study found that aerobics research focus has been developed from the early public teaching mode, investigation and countermeasure research now gradually to the sport, competitive aerobics, physical education and aerobics athletes’ transition, aerobics without expanding the research field, research topics tend to diversification, popular, empirical and theoretical research is also in constant depth development. The research frontiers are divided into three periods: early stage, middle stage, and recent stage, with different research directions and emphases. It is suggested to construct multidisciplinary integrated development, enrich the vision of teaching and competition, improve the local regional integration policy, and comprehensively display the research and development status of aerobics.
