Integrasi Positive Youth Development dalam Olahraga dan Aktivitas Fisik: Pemetaan Sains untuk Menentukan Trend Penelitian Saat Ini dan Masa Depan
Abstract
This study examines the role of sport and physical activity in promoting Positive Youth Development (PYD) by analyzing existing research trends and key thematic areas. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using bibliographic coupling and co-word analysis to identify significant research themes and influential publications within the PYD literature. The study categorized findings into five thematic clusters: PYD frameworks, psychosocial and motivational influences, life skills education, inclusivity and policy, and coaching strategies. The findings highlight the critical impact of structured sport programs, mentorship, and coaching in fostering youth resilience, social integration, and life skills development. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of theoretical models such as self-determination theory and the TPSR framework in guiding PYD interventions. Despite strong evidence supporting the benefits of sport-based PYD programs, challenges persist, including inconsistencies in implementation, the need for long-term evaluation, and disparities in accessibility. Future research should focus on the sustainability and scalability of PYD interventions, particularly in digital and virtual environments, to ensure broader inclusivity. Addressing these gaps through interdisciplinary collaboration and policy development will enhance the effectiveness of PYD programs, reinforcing sport as a powerful tool for holistic youth development.
