INTRODUCTION
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a healthy lifestyle refers to how a person lives by reducing the potential risk of severe illness or the possibility of premature A healthy lifestyle is a behavior related to a person's efforts or activities to maintain and improve their health (Redland & Stuifbergen, 1.
One way that can be done to maintain a healthy lifestyle is to maintain a clean environment, exercise regularly, get enough rest, avoid fast food and alcoholic or carbonated drinks, and implement the four perfect health Physical activities such as exercise are critical to maintaining metabolism (Miles, 2.
WHO
recommends doing sports activities for at least 30 minutes per day or 90 minutes per week (Wen, et al.

Exercise itself has many benefits for physical and mental health.
Exercise maintains body weight to prevent obesity, prevents heart disease, prevents diabetes, reduces the risk of osteoporosis, reduces stress, improves good sleep quality, and improves In the Industry 4.

Figure 1 shows the details of the number of publications per year, namely: 2002 1 document, 2006 2 documents, 2007 1 document, 2008 3 documents, 2009 to 2012 there was 1 document, 2013 there were 3 documents, 2014 there were 8 documents, 2015 there were 2 documents, 2016 there were 4 documents, 2017 there were 7 documents, 2018 there were 9 documents, 2019 there were 7 documents, 2020 there were 10 documents, 2021 there were 16 documents, 2022 there were 10 documents, 2023 there were 11 documents, and 2024 there were 2 Based on the data shown in Figure 1, the development of article applications to support a healthy lifestyle is increasing yearly.
However, from the highest total publications in 2021, there was a decrease in the number of publications from 2020 to The increase in research regarding the use of sports applications to support a healthy lifestyle, especially in 2021, can be influenced by factors.
One of the main factors is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited people's access to fitness centers and sports 105 | International Journal of Informatics Information System and Computer Engineering 4.
101-113 facilities, encouraging increased use of sports equipment and training via applications (Dewi, et al.
, 2.
Additionally, advances in mobile technology and wearable devices, which enable more accurate and easy tracking of physical activity and health (McConnell, et al.
, 2.
, are driving the popularity of exercise apps.
Increased awareness of the importance of maintaining physical and mental health amidst challenging situations also motivates many people to use the app to aid their fitness routine.
Support from the technology and health industries and collaboration between app developers and fitness and nutrition experts also played an important role in driving research and widespread adoption of exercise apps during this period.
In this study, we analyzed the identification of developments in the use of sports applications to support a healthy lifestyle based on average citations per year.
Publications regarding the use of sports applications to support a healthy lifestyle in Scopus have an average number of citations per document of 19.
In contrast, a detailed report regarding the number of citations per year is shown in Table The citation data shows that the highest average number of citations per article occurred in 2014, with an average per article of 56.
Meanwhile, the highest average citation per year occurred in 2011, with an average of Fig.
