Martial Arts and Combat Sports For People With Disabilities: Scientific Production In The Brazilian Graduate Program
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Sports and Physical Education (IOSR-JSPE) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
In the last decade, Brazil has shown great improvement in the Paralympic sports. This has increased the number of studies and researches in Para-sports, with growing number of people with disability beginning sport practice in different contexts and places. There are many different types of Para-sports, Olympic and not, and martial arts are included in this universe of possibilities. This literature review aims to present the studies in the graduate programs in Brazil by analyzing the thesis and dissertations about martial arts and combat sports for people with disabilities, available in the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) from 2007 to 2017. A total 402 masters and doctorate studies were found, corresponding to the selection criteria proposed for this study. There were eight studies (1.99%) on martial arts and combat sports for people with disabilities, six of which were from masters programs and two from doctorate programs. These studies were divided into the following themes: Fencing in wheelchairs (2); Wushu (2); Judo (2); Capoeira (1); and Taekwondo (1). Based on the results presented in this research, we understand that there is a predominant concern about the pedagogical dimension. We also found a concern focused on the description of the Para-sport scenario and assessment to create conditions for the development of different modalities for different people with disabilities. There were also studies that explored the subjective aspects of practitioners, and the understanding of health through the practice of combat sports. The disabilities studied were mostly related to physical and visual impairment.
