Visualizing Scientific Landscape of Physical Exercise Impact on Glucose Levels: A Bibliometric Approach

Rizaldo Septiano Robaeni, Lucki Hersya Rahman

Abstract


This study discusses the development of research on the relationship between physical exercise and glucose levels through bibliometric analysis using computational mapping with VOSviewer. The research data was obtained from the Google Scholar database via the Publish or Perish application. The titles and abstracts of the articles were used as keywords to target articles related to "Physical Exercise and Glucose." A total of 338 articles were identified as relevant to the searched keywords, covering a period of the last 10 years from 2015 to 2025, and originating from various journals and publications. A detailed examination based on the year of publication reveals the following distribution: 54 articles were published in 2015, 43 in 2016, 45 in 2017, 33 in 2018, 37 in 2019, 40 in 2020, 29 in 2021, 31 in 2022, 19 in 2023, 27 in 2024, and 12 articles in 2025. Based on the collected data, we observe a varied publication trend over time. The use of VOSviewer to represent this data is very important because the results from VOSviewer guide us specifically, highlighting frequently occurring terms such as "uptake," "activity," and others.
