Zhou, Zhang, Liu, and Yu conducted a systematic review and bibliometric analysis to examine how digital technologies have shaped home-based exercise research and practice. As home exercise became vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors analyzed 311 studies published between 2000 and 2024 to track its evolution and identify key themes using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. They found seven major research areas, including intelligent exercise training, remote rehabilitation, wearable and AI-based health monitoring, and virtual reality for neurological recovery. The United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom were the main contributors, reflecting their strong focus on digital health innovation. The study revealed that engagement in home-based exercise is influenced by both traditional factors, such as motivation and social support, and digital factors, like technology accessibility, literacy, and privacy. A dual-pathway model was proposed to show how these traditional and digital influences interact, with technology enhancing participation but also creating barriers when poorly implemented. Overall, the authors concluded that digital technology has made home-based exercise more accessible, data driven, and engaging. They emphasized the need for future research to focus on long-term effectiveness, cross-cultural validation, and better integration with electronic health systems to create connected and personalized care networks.
