| Summary: | Background. Over the last few decades, capoeira has been highlighted as one of the most fascinating human activities. Parallel to the growing number of practitioners worldwide, capoeira has increasingly been the focus of academic concerns, particularly in university contexts.Problem and aim. This study aimed to identify how capoeira has been addressed academically. For this purpose, it sought to develop a bibliometric analysis of published articles on capoeira over the last decade.Material and methods. 353 articles written in the Portuguese, English, Spanish and French languages were identified in the Pubmed (n = 27), Web of Science (n = 176), and Scopus (n = 150) databases, from 2010 to 2020, using the word “capoeira”. After that, 227 articles were removed because they were repeated, with unavailable access or dealt with another matter, resulting in 126 records for analysis. They were analysed based on the relative frequency of occurrences considering: (i) area of knowledge, (ii) authorship, (iii) type of research, and (iv) journal. |
