PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND THE MEDIA: BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY ON WEB OF SCIENCE - 1945-2019

Abstract

We mapped studies that involve relationships between ‘Physical Education and the media’ and identified how the media is touched by Physical Education, reflecting on the findings. The methodological procedures include bibliometrics analyses carried out on Web of Science for 1945-2019, and Content Analysis. The theme is emerging and has not been addressed globally. Brazilian participation is highlighted, but the total number of publications is low. The areas of knowledge that most discuss the subject are the Humanities, Health Sciences and Applied Social Sciences. There are challenges to be overcome regarding collaboration networks among authors, institutions and countries. Prominent categories include ‘influence of the media to form the audience’s subjectivities’ and those that, based on different specificities, are linked to the school.
