Despite the increase in the number of global studies on training and exercise, which have an important place in sports sciences, there are still no bibliometric studies in the literature. This study aims to analyse the scientific articles that have been published on training and exercising by using bibliometric methods. Articles on training and exercise published between 1980 and 2021 were downloaded from the Web of Science (WoS). Spearman correlation coefficient was used for the correlation analysis between the number of articles and some development indicators of the countries. The exponential smoothing was used to estimate the number of articles to be published in the next years. Network visualization maps were used to identify citation analyses and trending topics. A total of 37408 articles were analysed. The top 3 contributing countries to the literature were USA (n=13227), UK (n=4481), Canada (n=3211). The most active journals were Journal of Applied Physiology (n=4338), Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (n=3292), Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (n=2743). The top 3 most active institutions were University of California System (n=696), University of Copenhagen (n=678), University of North Carolina (n=644). The most active contributor to the literature was William J. Kraemer (Number of articles=223). We shared a summary of 37408 articles in this comprehensive bibliometric study on training and exercise. The topics studied in the last decade were determined as resistance training, football, athletic performance, high-intensity interval training, sports, youth, team sports, training load, injury prevention, health, quality of life, exercise therapy, obesity, aerobic exercise, muscle strength, biomechanics, balance, gait, heart rate variability, and hypertension.
