| Summary: | Objectives. This bibliometric study aimed to track the evolution of research trends related to athletic jumps.
Materials and methods. This study was a systematic review with conducting a bibliometric analysis. Using a thorough approach, articles published since 2014 were found using the keywords “Athletics Jump Training” in research journals indexed in the SCOPUS database. A total of 222 articles were examined. Ten (10) articles were therefore selected for additional investigation using SciVal and the VOSviewer computer programs. For standard operationalization, this study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA).
Results. The highest number of articles was published in 2021, the highest citations was recorded in 2019, the greatest number of authors was involved in 2021, and the highest number of readers — in 2015. There were 3 keyword clusters that reflected various research focusing on athletics jump training for younger players. The most frequently occurring keywords in this study were “Athlete”, “Muscle Strength”, and “Athletic Performance”. The United Kingdom (30), Brazil (25), and the United States (17) were the three nations with the highest number of publications on jump training in sports. Factors influencing the development of young jumper athletes and plyometric training for jump performance were the main themes that covered various aspects of the research trend over the last ten years, based on the top ten most cited references in athletics training for younger players.
Conclusions. The study focuses on athletics jump training for younger players, with notable publication peaks in 2021 and citation highs in 2019. Key themes in the most cited references include factors influencing young athletes’ development and the role of plyometric training. The United Kingdom, Brazil, and the United States led in publications on this topic. Research on athletics jump for athletes under the age of 18 has grown significantly.
