Abstract

A bibliometric analysis was performed to examine global publication trends and patterns connected to the use of information technology in sports education. All articles from the Scopus database from 1996–2023, totaling 396 articles related to this theme, were taken and then analysed using the help of mapping engineering analysis software, namely VOSviewer. The research findings show that there have been fluctuations in the number of publications, but 2011 marked the beginning of the trend for publications to increase by double digits. Of the 186 documents, the document types "conference paper" and “article" were the largest among the other types, with 173, respectively. The well-known journal " Journal of Physics Conference Series," is the scientific source that has published the most articles with 32 documents. Other findings revealed that the "Computer Science" area, with 193 documents, was the one most studied by scholars to carry out their research. China is the country with the highest number of publications, namely 266 documents, and one of its universities, namely Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, is the top affiliate with ten published documents. The use of the keywords "information technology" (82 occurrences), and “physical education” with (81 occurrences), is the most popular compared to other phrases for this topic. Our research provides more comprehensive information about the rapid progress of technological literacy in facilitating the development of sports education as a basic ingredient in building a country's sporting success.
