Abstract

This study intends to conduct a bibliometric analysis in the field of study of optimization in sports by analyzing articles published between 2011 and 2020. In this study, the year’s corresponding to the greatest number of articles published, significant journals, highest cited articles, important authors, and most dominant countries were analyzed. The VOSviewer software was implemented for providing a visualization of co-authorship, intercountry co-authorship, and keywords co-occurrences analysis. A total of 344 articles were retrieved from the Scopus database. In conclusion, this study provides the available literature on optimization in sports over the last 10 years.
