Experimental: Capoeira training group
The Capoeira training was performed during eight weeks, twice a week with duration of 60min each session, divided in 1) initial part: 10min warm-up with activities of low intensity or the "ginga" used in Capoeira; 2) main part: from the Basic Programmed Lesson (40min) and ; 3) final part: Capoeira presentation of 10min.
In this last moment, the participants remained in a circle and, in pairs, executed the movements practiced earlier in the sessions.
In order to perform the Basic Programmed Lesson, the activities were divided in four stages, composed by "ginga" and other movements: dodging, unbalancing, traumatizing and acrobatic.
The volunteers would perform the initial part of the basic lesson (ex.
1st stage) and afterwards, when performing the subsequent part (ex.
2nd stage), would first repeat the 1st basic lesson, with the purpose of continuing the learning process and improving the previous lesson.

Capoeira training: The experimental Capoeira training protocol, based in the modern styles of Capoeira was applied by an instructor with 17 years of experience in teaching Capoeira, followed the directions of the Basic Programmed Lesson, created by Geraldo Pereira d'Santana (Master Santana) in a Capoeira group called IUNA from the city of São Paulo, Brazil. In order to perform the Basic Programmed Lesson program, the activities were divided in four stages, being composed of the main movement that characterizes Capoeira (the "ginga") and by other movements such as: dodging, unbalancing, traumatizing and acrobatic. An important thing to highlight in the experimental protocol is that the training performed in the present study used only specific movements of Capoeira, without applying any other traditional stretching exercises. Therefore, it is possible to infer that the results obtained are due to the experimental protocol. |
No Intervention: Control group
The Control group did not perform any physical exercise during the intervention period (eight weeks).
