Physical activity and neuroinflammation: a bibliometric analysis of research progress and future perspectives.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neuroinflammation is a common pathological feature of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases and is closely related to the dysfunction of the nervous system. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that physical activity (PA) has a significant regulatory effect on neuroinflammation. However, a comprehensive analysis of research in this field is currently lacking, including the evolution of knowledge structures, interdisciplinary trends, and dynamic shifts in research hotspots.

Methods

This study retrieved relevant literature from the Web of Science Core Collection database for the period from 2004 to 2025. The search strategy was TS = (("physical activit*" OR exercis* OR "exercise training") AND ("neuroinflammat*" OR "neuro inflammatory" OR
