Topic:. Research Hotspots and Prospects of Taijiquan since 2000

Описание: Abstract: The present review attempts to distill recent research highlights from voluminous literature generated in 2000 to now, and provide guidelines for the direction of Tai Chi scientific research. Methods The publications were obtained online through CNKI and WOS databases. Search time was set from January 2000 to September 2022. The publications were searched by the keyword “太极拳” in CNKI, and “taiji” or “Taijiquan” or “taichi” or “Tai Chi” in WOS. Full records of these publications were downloaded from both databases and then imported into CiteSpace (version 6.1 R3, 64-bit) for further analysis of authors, institutions, keywords, clusters, etc. Results In CNKI, the number of publications tended to increase first and then decrease, with a peak of 97 in 2013. The top three authors in the number of publications were Yang Jian-Ying, Yu Ding-Hai, and Liu Jing. The top three institutions in the number of publications were Shanghai Sport University, Beijing Sport University, and East China Normal University. The top three high-frequency keywords were tai chi, old people, and martial arts, while the top three high-centrality keywords were tai chi, traditional culture, and middle-aged and elderly people. The total publications of both institutions and funding in Henan Province were more than those in other regions and universities, which illustrated the important position of the town of tai chi. The main fields of publications focused on applied research, development research, and discipline education and teaching. In WOS, the number of publications showed a continuous upward trend, with a maximum of 489 in 2021. The top three authors of the number of publications were Peter Wayne, Zou Liye, and Wang Chenchen. The top three institutions in the number of publications were Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Shanghai University of Sport. The top three high-frequency keywords were tai chi, exercise, and older adult, while the top three high-centrality keywords were cardiorespiratory function, complementary therapy, and fitness. Conclusions Since 2000, the number of research papers on Tai Chi in CNKI and WOS has increased significantly. The number included in CNKI reached a peak around 2013, while the number included in WOS has been continuing to grow. From the top three in the number of first-author publications, papers from WOS are more than twice as many as from CNKI. In terms of content, authors from CNKI mainly focus on culture, teaching, and broadcasting, while authors from WOS follow the effect and mechanism of health promotion. The number of research articles on Tai Chi in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and others exceeds that in sports itself.
