體育與運動科學熱門與前瞻研究議題：國際與國內期刊視角

Research hotspots and emerging research topics in sports and exercise sciences: Perspectives from international and domestic journals

體育與運動科學研究範疇持續擴展，致使學術期刊與論文發表量快速成長。此發展趨勢雖促進學術知識之積累，卻也使研究者面臨掌握研究現況與動態之挑戰。鑑於臺灣相關研究議題分析近10年未有系統性更新，本研究旨在探討2013-2023年間國際體育運動期刊分群現況與臺灣體育運動科學研究議題現況與發展趨勢。研究採用Content Analysis Toolkit for Academic Research軟體進行大數據研究綜整分析，研究範疇包含Web of Science Core Collection資料庫中sport sciences與hospitality, leisure, sport & tourism類別之78本期刊，以及臺灣社會科學引文索引一級期刊《中華體育季刊》、《體育學報》及《大專體育學刊》之收錄文獻。研究結果顯示，國際期刊可分為7大分群，包括：「運科綜合類（運動醫學、生物力學、生理學）」、「動作控制與復健」、「運動醫學與骨科」、「運動營養與應用生理」、「運動心理與運動教育」、「運動產業經營管理」，以及「運動社會文史哲」。就臺灣研究而言，本研究辨識出3大熱門研究議題，包括：「體育課程與教學策略」、「認知功能、營養增補，以及運動模式」，以及「動作分析與技能學習」；2大前瞻研究議題，包括：「動作分析與技能學習」與「技術訓練與資料分析」。整合文獻數量與成長趨勢後，3大熱門暨前瞻研究議題為：「動作分析與技能學習」、「體育課程與教學策略」與「認知功能、營養增補，以及運動模式」。本研究成果不僅藉由期刊分群分析呈現國際體育與運動科學領域之學術發展現況，亦為學者提供臺灣目前研究現況與未來發展趨勢之重要參考依據。

Despite facilitating knowledge advancement, the rapid expansion of research in physical education, sports, and exercise science presents significant challenges for researchers tracking current developments and emerging trends in research topics. To address the decade-long absence of systematic research topic analysis in Taiwan, this study examines the clustering patterns of international physical education, sports and exercise science journals while identifying research hotspots and emerging research topics within the Taiwanese context from 2013 to 2023. Employing the Content Analysis Toolkit for Academic Research, this investigation analyzed 78 journals from the categories of sport sciences, and hospitality, leisure, sport & tourism in the Web of Science Core Collection database, alongside publications from first-tier journals in the Taiwan Social Sciences Citation Index: Quarterly of Chinese Physical Education, Physical Education Journal, and Sports & Exercise Research. The analysis yielded 7 distinct international journal clusters: Integrated sport science (sports medicine, biomechanics, and physiology); Motor control and rehabilitation; sports medicine and orthopedics; sports nutrition and applied physiology; sports psychology and physical education; sports industry management; and sports history and sociology. Within the Taiwanese research context, the study identified three research hotspots: Physical education curriculum and teaching strategies; cognitive function, nutritional supplementation, and exercise patterns; and motion analysis and skill learning. Furthermore, two emerging research topics emerged: Motion analysis and skill learning; and technical training and data analysis. Subsequent, analysis of publication numbers and growth trends highlighted the convergence of hotspots and emerging research topics: Motion analysis and skill learning; physical education curriculum and teaching strategies; and cognitive function, nutritional supplementation, and exercise patterns. This study not only reveals the current state of international research in physical education, sports, and exercise science through systematic journal clustering, but also provides key references for understanding the development status and future trends of related research in Taiwan.
