Produção científica sobre jiu-jítsu : uma análise bibliométrica da última década (2014-2024)

Abstract

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that has gained prominence in the global sports scene, not only for its technical aspects but also for the physical and psychological benefits it provides to practitioners. This study aims to analyze the scientific production on BJJ, focusing on the physiological, psychological, and biomechanical dimensions involved in the practice. The research was conducted through a literature review of publications in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases, emphasizing studies between 2014 and 2024. Search combinations were performed in the database search tools using the boolean descriptor "OR" and the terms "Jiu-Jitsu," "JiuJitsu," and "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu." The database search resulted in a total of 496 records. After exclusions, 289 studies remained for analysis. It was observed that most studies were published in English, in international journals, with a predominance of experimental studies focused on physiological aspects, sports performance, and health. The data presented support the growing relevance of BJJ as a field of study in sports sciences. The prevalence of experimental studies demonstrates a commitment to producing empirical evidence to support the performance and safety of practitioners. At the same time, the thematic and methodological diversity reflects a maturing field that navigates different areas of knowledge.
