Abstract

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art of self-defense that encompasses the entire systematic and complex human body. Widely practiced in Brazil and the world, the BJJ presents motor characteristics related to the development of children's executive functions (EFs). However, it is still unknown the process by which such contributions occur and whether they happen. Thus, this article aims to identify and understand the possible participation of BJJ practice in the development process of children's EF. This study was carried out through a literature review by searching for complete review articles indexed in the PubMed and ScieElo databases, published from 2011 to 2019. After the selection and analysis of the five articles (two literature reviews and three meta-analyses), it was identified that the practice of exercises contributes to the development of the EF, including inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Indeed, scientific articles related to the practice of BJJ and the development of EFs are scarce. However, there is a definite trend regarding the participation of children in sports programs with characteristics similar to BJJ, resulting in EFs improvement. Further studies are suggested to identify the acute and chronic effect of the BJJ practice on children's EFs.
