Research Trends on the Effects of Physical Activity on Bipolar Disorder from 2014 to 2024: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Background: Recent years. Bi-directional affective disorder and physical activity (PA) are being studied further. This area's research progress and future directions are undetermined. This study investigates hot research topics and emerging trends in this sector. The goal is to suggest future research and offer physicians references. Materials and Methods: Retrieve relevant literature from the Web of Science core ensemble database, import the downloaded files into CiteSpace6.2.R3 for visual analysis, generate the cooperative network diagram between authors, countries, institutions, cited journals, and co-occurring keywords, and identify research hotspots and trends through keyword clustering, timeline browsing, and keyword citations. outbreaks and other analysis to identify research centers and trends.
Results：There were 723 research, and PA in bipolar illness is growing. The US (256), London University (64), and AM J PSYCHIAT (394) had the most articles. The keywords identified youth, quality of life, physical health, risk health, and coronary heart disease as groups of interest, observational indicators, and related illness categories. Conclusions: This study highlights ongoing research and developing trends and underscores the need for further research to widen the findings. Future collaborations between institutions and authors must be strengthened and explored to explore physical and mental exercise and its effects on bi-directional affective disorder, PA, and specific populations, as well as the physiological mechanisms of various exercises, and to validate current findings or hypotheses through longitudinal studies or randomi.
