Abstract

To further understand the research hotspots and trends in the field of digital sports in China in the past decade, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database was used as the sample source, and the CiteSpace software was used to obtain the knowledge graph of the annual number of published papers, authors and research institutions, keyword clustering, and emergence, to explore the development process of sports digitalization in China. Conclusions: (1) In recent years, the number of publications related to sports digitalization in China has shown a wave-like upward trend, and it will increase rapidly from 2020 to 2023. (2) There is no close connection between the authors of papers in this field, and most of the research institutions are sports and normal colleges, which lack cooperation and lack of collaboration in interdisciplinary fields. (3) According to the keyword analysis, the current research hotspots in China include digitalization, the sports industry, the digital economy, digital sports, physical education, and sports consumption. (4) Keeping up with the pace of building a digital China is an inevitable requirement for building a sports power. The deep integration of sports and digitalization is a new driving force for building sports power and promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of sports.
