Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature on enhancing physical education for students in higher education. Metadata were extracted from 5,349 scientific articles indexed in the Web of Science database for the period 1975-2025. The study employs bibliometric procedures to describe and visually represent the existing literature of this field over the past 50 years. Results indicate that research in this area: (a) demonstrates sustained growth in recent decades, particula
