Os efeitos do treino de resistência no excesso de peso: uma análise bibliométrica

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide a thorough bibliometric analysis of resistance training methods in populations that are overweight. The objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the present status of research on this particular topic and provide valuable recommendations to practitioners who are involved in this area. Materials and methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature on resistance training in overweight populations, covering the period from 1995 to 2024. A comprehensive search was performed in the Web of Science database using the keywords "resistance training" and "overweight." The search encompassed all pertinent information contained within the articles. The data were produced in BibTex format and then entered into the Bibliometrix program for analysis. Results: The examination showed that 60 countries and 281 periodicals published the 666 papers analyzed in this study between 1995 and 2024. Notable magazines include "Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise" and the "Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research." The results also indicate substantial author collaboration and strong cooperation across countries, with the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and Iran being the primary collaborating nations. Conclusions: Given the persistently high incidence of overweight, it is imperative to investigate exercise treatments that are effective. Recent research has indicated a growing interest in using resistance training as a means of addressing overweight issues. This upward trend is projected to persist in the future. This emphasizes the gravity of obesity as a matter of public health and showcases the efficacy of resistance training as an intervention strategy.
