Introduction: Sports biomechanics has been widely applied to support athlete performance and minimize the risk of injury. In track and field, the high jump involves complex movement coordination and carries a high risk of injury.
Objective: This study aims to systematically review research publications on the high jump in track and field and provide appropriate recommendations for optimizing high jump athlete performance.
Methodology: This study adapted the PRISMA guidelines in conducting the data collection process. In addition, this study also included keyword analysis and literature review to provide more comprehensive data.
Results: A total of 971 studies were identified from the five databases (SCOPUS, ERIC, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, and Springer). Then, 276 articles were used for keyword analysis and 15 articles for literature review. Based on the results of the keyword analysis, evidence was obtained that research in high jump has successfully involved several aspects, one of which is sports rehabilitation. Meanwhile, the results of the literature review presented that research has developed from conventional (theory-based explanation) to more modern (involving digital technology).
Discussion: The results presented indicate that high jump research still needs to be expanded. Of the 15 articles identified, only 10 articles were suitable and could be fully reviewed. In the end, the researchers only found 10 articles discussing high jump in track and field.
Conclusions: In addition to providing quite interesting results, research on the high jump still needs to be developed so that it can become a strong reference in the future. Thus, the development of the high jump sport can be maximized, both academically and non-academically.
