INTRODUCTION:
This paper will delve into the state of short sprint techniques and research throughout the past 30 years whilst discussing the popular topics, looking into the techniques developed by different countries on a global scale, to achieve the goal of finding the most efficient and effective methods of analyzing, training, coaching and developing future and existing track and field athletes.
METHODS:
Journals recorded in SCI-E, SSCI that relate to track and field sprint research will be checked through targeting keywords such as “Sprint”, “Sprinting”, “Sprinters” etc. Journals will then be analyzed, screened and read to retrieve the relevant literature whilst eliminating irrelevant literature. Bibliometric analysis method will be used to analyze the articles, this is done by using Cite Space visualization software to analyze literature within the articles as well as conducting mathematical statistical analyzation on data involved such as publication volumes; Presenting the author’s collaborative relationships, keyword co-occurrence; Analyze and process publications according to nation publication volumes and author publication volume.
RESULTS:
The field of short sprint for track and field in foreign counties show that the development of short sprint in track and field has gone through 3 major stages in the past 30 years, the dull period (1993-2004), the slow upward period (2005-2011), and the fluctuation period (2012-2022).
Research in the Field of Sprinting according to Countries. The top 3 countries which have the most advanced research are, The United Kingdom, 16.96% of the total publication volume, Australia, 16.40% of the total publication volume, The United States, 14.34% of the total publication.
Keywords in Relation to the Field of Sprinting Research Publications. Most frequent track and field research publication keywords are performance (421 times), exercise training (302 times), strength (271 times), and explosive power (252 times).
Overview of Analysis Result. Research topics in track and field sprint events in foreign countries mainly focus on four aspects: sprint performance, sprint training monitoring, sprint training, and sprint injuries.

CONCLUSION:
In the past 30 years, the entire transformation process of sprint projects from being underdeveloped into becoming increasingly valued by researchers has proven that sprint projects are one of the representative projects in todays track and field sports. The main research achievements are concentrated in Europe and America, especially in sports developed countries. These achievements also provide certain theoretical support and guarantee for other countries and disciplines, contributing to many new theories developed through interdisciplinary integration.
Foreign sprint research mainly revolves around four aspects, how many novel viewpoints have been proposed in the sports training and sports injury sections, providing new ideas for scholars in the concept of track and field sports and new methods for training.
