Research on Integration of Artificial Intelligence into Sports Development in China over the Past Decade:A Visual Analysis Based on CiteSpace
OBJECTIVE:This study aims to explore the integration of artificial intelligence with sports development over the past decade,identify research hotspots,and predict future trends.This will provide a theoretical framework and directional guidance for future research efforts,promoting the application and development of artificial intelligence in the sports industry.METHOD:Utilizing the CNKI database,relevant academic literature from 2014 to 2024 was collected.A visual analysis was conducted using bibliometric tools such as CiteSpace 6.3.R1 and Excel,focusing on multiple dimensions including publication trends,distribution of researchers and institutions,co-occurrence of keywords,thematic clustering,temporal distribution,and keyword emergence.RESULTS:(ⅰ)The volume of publications shows a steady growth trend,evolving through three stages:initial exploration,fluctuating growth,and deepening maturity.(ⅱ)Current research hotspots primarily revolve around competitive sports,the metaverse,big data,the 5G era,and sports management.(ⅲ)Collaboration among researchers in this field is insufficient,preventing the formation of a stable core author group.Research institutions are concentrated in Eastern and Central China,displaying both concentration and diversification while gradually expanding nationwide.Universities and sports colleges are the main contributors,although there is a lack of cooperation and collaborative innovation among institutions.(ⅳ)The core research focus in this field centers on three major sectors:technology application,management and industry,and competition and economics.(ⅴ)Academic research is shifting from technical exploration to in-depth studies of application practices and management strategies,reflecting a phased development.OUTLOOK:Future research should closely follow technological advancements,explore the limitless possibilities of artificial intelligence in sports,and promote intelligent,personalized,and efficient development within the sports sector.
