Effects of Capoeira on the Physical and Psychological Performance of Adults
A study testing CAPOEIRA TRAINING in people with Training and Mental Health, run by Universidade Federal do vale do São Francisco at 1 site in Brazil.
Trial summary
Regular physical activity (PA) promotes benefits for both physical and mental health. Among the numerous PA\'s with a collective nature that can add to the existing recommendations, combat sports training interventions are viable alternatives since they integrate benefits in different aspects for health.

About this study
Official title: Effects of Capoeira Training on Physical Performance and Psychological Aspects Performance of Adults: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Regular physical activity (PA) promotes benefits for both physical and mental health. Among the numerous PA\'s with a collective nature that can add to the existing recommendations, combat sports training interventions are viable alternatives since they integrate benefits in different aspects for health. In this way, capoeira can be a strategy for the prescription of exercise, aiming to serve participants collectively and maintaining the adherence of this practitioner to the intervention. However, little is known about this issue. So, the aim of the present study is to verify the effect of 12 weeks of capoeira training on the physical performance and psychological aspects of previously physically inactive adults.
Read the detailed description
The study will be conducted as a controlled, randomized, two-group parallel and superiority clinical trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. The sample will be divided into two groups: 1) capoeira training group (n = 76; GCAP) and 2) control group (n = 76; GCONT). Participants aged between 18 and 59 years, classified as irregularly active A by the international physical activity questionnaire, who are not engaged in training programs and are not former athletes, will be eligible. Smokers and patients with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases will be excluded from the sample. Anamnesis and anthropometric evaluation will initially be performed. To evaluate the physical aspects, specific tests will be applied to determine aerobic and anaerobic fitness, strength and power of lower limbs, balance, motor coordination and questionnaires will be applied to verify the psychological aspects, such as emotional intelligence, motivation and quality of life. The descriptive analysis of the outcomes will be reported. The normality of the data will be checked by visual inspection of the Q-Q plot and statistically tested by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Two-way ANOVA for repeated measures will be employed to verify the time*group interaction. The effect size (ES) of the intervention on dependent variables will be calculated and the difference between the ES and its respective 95% confidence interval will be calculated to estimate the magnitude of the response in the intervention. The alpha adopted will be 5% and the software used for data analysis will be Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences 25.0.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CAPOEIRA TRAININGOther
The protocol of the capoeira training program and the movements (blows, dodges and flourishes) will be based on the Capoeira Abadá method.
CONTROL GROUPOther
The protocol of the control group will be based on an intervention with capoeira movements, however, without important cardiovascular, neuromuscular and metabolic demands, being an activity with stretching movements from positions of the capoeira modality itself.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| CAPOEIRA GROUP | Experimental | The training program will be conducted over 12 weeks with two weekly sessions. Each session will last 60 minutes and will be divided into three parts: 1) initial part: execution of stretches and low-intensity actions with specific movements of capoeira; 2) main part: realization of the training program the schedule present in Table 1 for the learning of attacks, dodges and acrobatic movements or flourishes and; 3) Final part: in a self-selected way in the capoeira roda, the participant will develop the previously learned movements. Receives: Other: CAPOEIRA TRAINING |
| CONTROL GROUP | Active comparator | The CONTROL GROUP will be conducted over 12 weeks with two weekly sessions. Each session will last 60 minutes and will be divided into three parts: 1) initial part: execution of stretches and low-intensity actions with specific movements of capoeira; 2) main part: continuation with execution of stretches and low-intensity actions with specific movements of capoeira and; 3) Final part: in a self-selected way in the capoeira roda, the participant will develop the previously learned movements. Receives: Other: CONTROL GROUP |

Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change from baseline in aerobic fitness (maximal oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold) at week 12 (time frame: Baseline and week 12). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2024.
