Research Hotspots and Development Process Analysis of Exercise Intervention in Autism:Based on CiteSpace Bibliometric Analysis
Objective To explore the hotspots and developmental history in the field of researching exercise intervention for people with autism,and to provide suggestions and references for exercise intervention for people with autism.Methods Relevant literature from China Knowledge Network was searched and visualized and analyzed using CiteSpace software.Results A total of 515 literatures were included,and the number of publications showed an overall upward trend with the support of national policies and the continuous ex-ploration of researchers.The research hotspots include early exercise intervention research for children with autism,exploration and practice research on physical activity intervention programs,and research on the mechanism of action of physical activity intervention to improve the symptoms of autistic patients.The development of the study has progressed from early screening and exploration of case studies of children with autism to the development and practice of sports intervention programs and the exploration of the mechanism of action of sports intervention.Conclusion In the future,it should construct exercise prescriptions,develop joint intervention programs,and reveal the mechanism of action behind exercise intervention for autistic patients from multiple perspectives.
