BACKGROUND: Starting with the works of Erisman, many studies have addressed the physical development of the pediatric population of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the development of scientific schools focusing on this issue in Russia remains understudied. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the publication activity of Russian researchers. AIM: This work aimed to analyze Russian scientific schools studying the physical development of the pediatric population based on bibliometric mapping using The Lens database. METHODS: Bibliometric science mapping was performed using The Lens scientific database. The search query included terms describing physical development in Russian and English. The dataset comprised 17,994 publication records from 1860 to July 1, 2025. Bibliometric mapping was conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.20; authors were ranked using the artificial intelligence-based service GigaChat 2.0; author clustering was carried out using the k-means clustering method. RESULTS: The Russian school studying physical development of the pediatric population includes two interconnected branches—a hygienic branch and a pediatric one—linked through publications by Prof. А.А. Baranov (Doctor of Sciences in Medicine, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences) and Prof. L.S. Namazova-Baranova (Doctor of Sciences in Medicine, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences). Cluster analysis divided Russian hygienist authors into three clusters: cluster 1 includes authors with moderate publication activity and low citation counts (mean number of publications, 7; mean citations, 10–20: E.N. Mingazova, T.E. Borovik, M.Yu. Gavryushin, O.V. Tulyakova); cluster 2 comprises well-known authors (mean number of publications, 12–15; mean citations, 50–100: D.B. Nikityuk, T.M. Maksimova, V.P. Novikova, N.A. Skoblina, A.N. Zavyalova, O.L. Lukoyanova, V.L. Gritsinskaya); and cluster 3 consists of internationally recognized authors (mean number of publications, 6–8; mean citations, 200: V.R. Kuchma). CONCLUSION: The study characterized the development trends of scientific schools focused on the physical development of the pediatric population in Russia and identified key hygienist researchers within these schools. Study limitations include potential language barriers in publication indexing and the use of a single scientific database
