ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to provide a bibliometric review of the publications on exercise and sports science in the major Chinese sports-related journals based on the data of the last decade. The data obtained from bibliometric analysis has the potential to help the researchers in building more detailed research frameworks, improving scientific documents, as well as utilizing scientific information to plan long-term strategic goals. The most active institution is the Shanghai University of Sport, which published 463 articles that received the largest number of citations and downloads. Exercise/sports, competitive sports, and athletes are the top-three most active key words and are the only ones that have been used by more than 100 articles. Based on the analysis on the frequency of key words, athletes, teenagers, elite athletes, college students, and elderly people are the populations most concerned with by researchers in the area in the last decade, while football is the most widely investigated sport in the area.
