However, providing specific exercise prescriptions is challenging; therefore, few physicians prescribe exercise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This infodemiological study aimed to understand trends in exercise-related internet search keywords based on sex, age, and environmental factors to help doctors prescribe exercise more easily.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Search keyword volume was collected from Yahoo! JAPAN for 2022. Ten exercise-related terms were analyzed to assess exercise interest. Total search activities were analyzed by sex and age. Characteristic scores were based on the Japanese prefecture. By performing hierarchical cluster analysis, regional features were examined, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to assess relationships with population and industry data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The top-searched term was \u201cPilates\u201d (266,000 queries). Male individuals showed higher interest in activities such as \u201crunning\u201d (25,400\/40,700, 62.4%), \u201cmuscle training\u201d (65,800\/111,000, 59.3%), and \u201chiking\u201d (23,400\/40,400, 57.9%) than female individuals. Female individuals exhibited higher interest in \u201cPilates\u201d (199,000\/266,000, 74.8%), \u201cyoga\u201d (86,200\/117,000, 73.7%), and \u201ctai chi\u201d (45,300\/65,900, 68.7%) than male individuals. Based on age, search activity was highest in the 40-49 years age group for both male and female individuals across most terms. For male individuals, 7 of the 10 searched terms\u2019 volume peaked for those in their 40s; \u201cstretch\u201d was most popular among those in their 50s; and \u201ctai chi\u201d and \u201cradio calisthenics\u201d had the highest search volume for those in their 70s. Female individuals in their 40s led the search volume for 9 of the 10 terms, with the exception of \u201ctai chi,\u201d which peaked for those in their 70s. Hierarchical cluster analysis using a characteristic score as a variable classified prefectures into 4 clusters. The characteristics of these clusters were as follows: cluster 1 had the largest population and a thriving tertiary industry, and individuals tended to search for Pilates and yoga. Following cluster 1, cluster 2, with its substantial population, had a thriving secondary industry, with searches for radio calisthenics and exercise bike. Cluster 4 had a small population, a thriving primary industry, and the lowest search volume for any term. Cluster 3 had a similar population to that of cluster 4 but had a larger secondary industry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Male individuals show more interest in individual activities, such as running, whereas female individuals are interested in group activities, such as Pilates. Despite the high search volume among individuals in their 40s, actual exercise habits are low among those in their 30s to 50s. Search volumes for instructor-led exercises are higher in cluster 1 than in other cluster areas, and the total number of searches decreases as the community size decreases. These results suggest that trends in search behavior depending on sex, age, and environment factors are essential when prescribing exercise for effective behavioral change.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/59395","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,29]],"date-time":"2024-10-29T00:14:42Z","timestamp":1730160882000},"page":"e59395","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Trends in Exercise-Related Internet Search Keywords by Sex, Age, and Lifestyle: Infodemiological Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3413-5719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kosuke","family":"Uemura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4893-2224","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taiju","family":"Miyagami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8438-0845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mizue","family":"Saita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1514-319X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takuro","family":"Uchida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-9703-6196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shun","family":"Yuasa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8929-7974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keita","family":"Kondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0560-7282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shun","family":"Miura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9054-093X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mizuki","family":"Matsushita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-6520-9087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuka","family":"Shirai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-2527-7660","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard Baku","family":"Misawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1646-9930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Toshio","family":"Naito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","author":"Liguori, G","year":"2020","journal-title":"ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 11th ed"},{"key":"ref2","unstructured":"Global health risks: mortality and burden of disease attributable to selected major risksWorld Health Organization2009112023-11-28https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789241563871"},{"key":"ref3","unstructured":"The Third Sports Basic Plan [Article in Japanese]Japan Sports Agency20232023-11-28https:\/\/www.mext.go.jp\/sports\/b_menu\/sports\/mcatetop01\/list\/1372413_00001.htm"},{"key":"ref4","unstructured":"Results of the FY2022 \"Public Opinion Survey on the Status of Sports Participation, etc.\" [Article in Japanese]Japan Sports Agency20233242024-11-01https:\/\/www.mext.go.jp\/sports\/b_menu\/houdou\/jsa_00133.html"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj-2021-068465"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2008.055426"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18030968"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18042023"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005768-200212000-00020"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-35044-4"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0146167216676480"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref12","first-page":"151","volume":"24","author":"Wankel, LM","year":"1993","journal-title":"International Journal of Sport Psychology"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0838.2008.00844.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1123\/jsep.28.3.300"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.13617"},{"key":"ref16","unstructured":"Search engine market share Japan: Jan -
