IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE

Background. A time-motion analysis would allow us to understand the technical-tactical conditions that can explain how elite athletes are successful in a real competition. However, this information about Capoeira athletes is little known.
Aim. This study proposed elaborating and verifying the reliability of a performance analysis protocol in Capoeira in the Frami software, and comparing the technical-tactical behavior in the weight divisions and tournament phases of the world championship.
Methods. The frequency of attacks and movements of Capoeira were computed in 256 rounds at the 2018 World Men’s Championships (-65kg, n= 24; 65 72 kg, n= 16; 72-78kg, n= 20; 78-85 kg, n =8 and 85+ kg, n= 10). The videos are available on the World Capoeira Federation channel. The study design, with an outline divided into protocol development, reliability and validation, and application. Frequencies and time (seconds) of the variables for the analysis correspond to the following groups: Observation, Preparation and Interaction phase, and respective technical-tactical actions. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cohen’s Kappa coefficient were used for reliability, and the Kruskal Wallis and post hoc of Dunn were used for comparisons.
Results. Time-motion analysis demonstrated an intra-evaluation index between 0.881 and 0.950, and the inter-evaluation index was between 0.706 and 0.827 (p≤0.05). The frequency of attacks and movements are significantly different between lighter athletes with shorter Observation time and higher attack frequencies than heavier athletes (p≤0.05).
Conclusion. The Frami software for Capoeira presented reliability in intra-correlations and inter-correlations and could be used to realize technical-tactical and time-motion real-competition analysis in Capoeira.
