Abstract

Background Problems: The field of sports research has experienced varying degrees of development, with certain areas, such as swimming and diving, showing slower progress in publication trends over recent years. Research Objectives: This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of research trends in swimming and diving over the past five years (2019-2023) using bibliometric analysis. Methods: This study examined 389 Scopus-indexed swimming and diving papers published between 2019 and 2023. Researchers conducted co-word analysis and text mining using VOSviewer to identify key research trends. Finding/Results: The analysis reveals a consistent increase in research trends in swimming and diving, with the United States leading the way in terms of publication output and Indonesia ranking 13th. Influential authors such as Lippmann, John M., Schipke, Jochen D., and Koch, Andreas Edmund, made significant contributions to the field. The majority of publications focus on the sport of swimming, highlighting the research gap in the sport of diving. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides valuable insights in the development of research in the field of swimming and diving, emphasising the need for further research to optimise training methods and improve athlete performance in these sports.

Abstract

Background: Swimming performance is fundamentally influenced by the interaction between anatomical structures and physiological functions, both of which determine movement efficiency, endurance capacity, and overall athletic performance. Despite the increasing number of studies examining these aspects separately, there is still no comprehensive bibliometric investigation that systematically maps the research landscape on anatomy and physiology in swimming. Objectives: This study employs bibliometric analysis to comprehensively identify and characterize research trends within the field of anatomy and physiology as they pertain to swimming over the past decade (2015-2025). Methods: This study systematically analyzed 371 Scopus-indexed publications concerning the anatomy and physiology of swimming, published within the decade spanning 2015 to 2025. To discern prominent research trends, we employed co-word analysis and text mining techniques, facilitated by VOSviewer software. Finding/Results: The bibliometric analysis indicated an absence of a consistent upward trend in research within the field of anatomy and physiology related to swimming. Peak publication years were observed in 2015 and 2017, each recording 58 documents. Geographically, the United States was the most prolific contributor, accounting for 173 published documents. Lauder, G.V., was identified as the most influential author, having individually contributed 12 publications. Regarding subject focus, Agricultural and Biological Sciences constituted the predominant area of research, representing 193 documents (29.2%) of the total publications in this domain. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of research on anatomy and physiology in swimming and identifies key contributors and emerging themes for future investigation.
