Application of wearable devices in sports: behavior change and result effect

Taking 1210 documents in the core database of web of science with keywords such as “Sports”, “wearable”, “Sports”, “wearable devices” and “behavior performance” as the data source, this paper uses “cite space” software for visual processing and analysis, combs the application effect of wearable devices in sports in the form of knowledge map, and reveals its research trend Study the cooperative network and the evolution path. Results: 1) in terms of research power distribution, the United States is in the position of “outshining others”, which leads the research direction of the effect of modern wearable devices in sports to a certain extent. In terms of continents, the top two are North America and Europe. The region with a relatively weak research strength is Africa. The research strength in Asia is mainly concentrated in China, South Korea and Japan, while other regions are relatively weak, and the research quality in China needs to be improved. 2) The high-yield authors and teams of sports artificial intelligence research focus on American colleges and universities, with the main research direction of developing and improving intelligent wearable devices for different groups based on machine learning and deep learning technology. 3) Research disciplines, such as medicine, computer science and engineering, are the leading research on the effect of wearable devices in sports. The contribution rate of sports discipline to research on the effect of wearable devices in sports is relatively low, but it is consistent with the characteristics of interdisciplinary integration in this research field. 4) The hot spots of wearable devices in sports research are divided into four clusters, specifically wearable devices and related technologies, wearable device monitoring indicators, wearable device intervention behavior changes, and wearable device intervention effects. Sports form, crowds, wearable technology and methods, research methods, behavior change and result effects are the effective ways to study the intervention effect of wearable devices in sports.
