Summary
This bibliometric analysis reveals significant gaps in understanding physical activity barriers in men. Further research is needed to develop targeted interventions and health promotion strategies for men
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Sports Science
- Men's Health
Background:
- Physical activity is crucial for men's health, yet barriers hinder participation.
- Understanding these barriers is essential for effective health interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on physical activity barriers in men.
- To identify trends, key contributors, and research gaps in this field.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 867 articles published between 1992 and 2024.
- Utilized the Biblioshiny interface in R programming language.
- Analyzed publication trends, keywords, and institutional contributions.
Main Results:
- Research predominantly originates from the USA, with keywords including 'physical activity,' 'exercise,' 'barrier,' and 'men.'
- Recent trends highlight topics like diabetes mellitus, health benefits, university students, and stigma.
- Identified significant gaps in understanding men-specific physical activity barriers.
Conclusions:
- There is a need for more individual and institutional research on physical activity barriers in men.
- Addressing identified research gaps is crucial for targeted health promotion and public health policy.
- Further investigation is required for comprehensive understanding and effective intervention development.

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
