Abstract

Background: Frailty poses a significant risk to the functional abilities and overall health of older adults, often leading to a decline in physical function. There was a positive impact of regular physical activity on muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and balance in older adults, including those with frailty. However, many of these studies have not precisely defined or measured frailty in their populations. Objective: This study seeks to examine the publishing patterns related to physical activity and frailty and rank the most frequently used author keywords in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Methods: This study utilizes the renowned software tools ScientoPy, VOSviewer, and Biblioshiny to analyze and process the relevant publication data. Results: The results reveal an encouraging trend in the growth of literature on physical activity and frailty in the databases since 1991. The country analysis indicates that the United States has emerged as an active publisher in this field, followed by Japan and Spain. These trends provide valuable insights for researchers, aiding them in identifying key areas of focus, proactive institutions, and core source titles that have contributed to the existing knowledge on physical activity and frailty. Conclusion: This knowledge can guide researchers in exploring new avenues of investigation and understanding the evolving landscape of physical activity and frailty research.
