Application of Plyometric Training Method: A Bibliometric Analysis Based on Scopus Data From 2014 to 2024
Abstract
Background: In recent years, plyometric training methods have been widely applied to improve strength, explosive power, and athletic performance. This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of publication trends related to plyometric training over the past decade.
Methods: This study employed a bibliometric approach, analysing publications related to plyometric training in the Scopus database from 2014 to 2024. A total of 1,339 documents were reviewed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny software. The analysis focused on publication trends, country and institutional productivity, collaboration networks, author influence (H-Index), and keyword co-occurrence to identify dominant themes and research trends.
Results: Research findings show a consistent increase in publications related to plyometric training since 2014, peaking at 210 publications in 2024. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Spain were the most productive countries, with Spain receiving the highest number of citations. The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research was ranked as the most productive and influential journal in its field. At the institutional level, the Universidad de Los Lagos (Chile) was the most dominant, with Rodrigo Ramirez-Campillo being the most influential author, having published 85 works and an H-Index of 30. Keyword analysis revealed that among the most frequently occurring keywords were ‘Human’, ‘Plyometric exercise’, and ‘Physiology’, with recent trends emphasising ‘Velocity’, ‘Training’, and ‘Resistance training’.
Conclusion: Research related to plyometric training has shown significant progress over the past decade. The focus, which initially emphasised physiological and anthropometric aspects, has now shifted to practical applications for improving sports performance. Keyword analysis indicates a predominance of male participants, while the involvement of female participants, research on specific sports such as basketball, and aspects of anthropometric and biomechanical components of lower-limb joints remain limited. Future research should focus on reducing gender disparities, expanding sport-based research, and enhancing biomechanical studies to achieve more comprehensive and applicable results.
Keywords: Plyometrics, bibliometrics, Scopus database
