Abstract


The ASEAN Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science (AJOPESS), established in 2022, has become a key platform for scholarly research in physical education and sports science. This review examines its four-year development (2022–2025), analyzing publication growth, research themes, and international collaboration. Using bibliometric methods, the study evaluates publication output, authorship patterns, institutional affiliations, and keyword trends. Findings reveal consistent contributions from over nine countries, including Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Iraq, Nigeria, the Philippines, Uzbekistan, Russia, and Australia. Prominent research themes include physical education, health and wellness, sports pedagogy, mental health, and innovative practices. AJOPESS plays a vital role in fostering global collaboration and advancing knowledge aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education). As an ASEAN-based journal, AJOPESS continues to expand its influence, serving as an academic hub that promotes knowledge exchange and sustainable development in sports science.
