Introduction
The success of all health exercises cannot be achieved without comprehensive equipment and hardware. Public sports facilities are not only symbols of urban development, but also material support for peoples sports and fitness exercises, playing an important and special role in achieving the national fitness strategy.From the current research situation, there are many studies on public sports facilities both domestically and internationally, but there is a lack of relevant review and analysis. Based on this, this article aims to outline a research knowledge graph, systematically review literature related to public sports facilities, comprehensively analyze hot areas and trends in public sports facility research, and summarize current research shortcomings on this basis, propose future prospects, and provide reference for further promoting research in this field.
Methods
This article uses Cite Space (version 6.2. R5) to conduct knowledge graph analysis on literature data on public sports facilities. Based on the definition of the concept of "public sports facilities", a bibliometric analysis was conducted on 1178 public sports facility literature from 1983 to 2023 in the Cnki core database and Web of Science core database, aiming to identify the characteristics, research hotspots, and development trends of public sports facilities.
Results
The annual publication volume in the field of public sports facilities research both domestically and internationally is generally on the rise. Chinese authors and institutions mainly focus on cooperation, and current hot topics mainly revolve around sports economy, sports management, sports industry, etc. National fitness is currently a cutting-edge research topic; Foreign authors and institutions mainly focus on independent research, with hot topics mainly focused on thermal comfort, wind tunnel testing, and economic impacts. Research on professional sports venues is currently at the forefront.
Discussion
By analyzing the publication trends, research authors, research institutions, research hotspots, and trends of public sports facilities literature, this article suggests that researchers can focus on the following issues related to public sports facilities in the future.The research on public sports facilities in foreign countries is relatively comprehensive. In the future, more possibilities can be explored by combining technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, in order to seek more benefits for the public.Compared to foreign countries, China needs a more diverse range of disciplines and research methods, guided by sustainable development concepts such as green environmental protection and ecological technology, and emphasizing the integration of new technologies into public sports facilities to promote national fitness at a technology oriented level, which is the main trend of future research.
