Resumen
El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la evolución científica en la actividad física en niños de edad preescolar. Las publicaciones se recopilaron de la colección Core Collection de la plataforma “Web of Science”, que tuviesen las palabras “Preschool or Kindergarten” y “physical activity” en el títulos, durante el periodo 2015-2020, obteniendo un total de 136 artículos. El análisis evaluó la tendencia anual de los artículos publicados, distribución de las publicaciones por país y por institución del primer autor, procedencia del primer autor, número promedio de autores y de citas por artículo, revistas principales, área temática, muestra de características, metodologías y programas de intervención.
Existe una evolución de la producción científica en los últimos años; los países anglófonos y China tienen el mayor índice de productividad, coincidiendo con las instituciones pioneras; la salud y la educación son las áreas temáticas más estudiadas, cuyas principales disciplinas son la actividad física y la didáctica. Más de la mitad de los estudios utilizan un programa de intervención. Este tipo de estudios proporciona información básica sobre las futuras direcciones de investigación en esta temática.

There is an evolution of scientific production in recent years; English-speaking countries and China have the highest rate of productivity, coinciding with the pioneering institutions; health and education are the most studied subject areas, the main disciplines being physical activity and didactics. More than half of the studies use an intervention programme. This type of study provides basic information on future research directions in this area.
