Resumo: | Tracking refers to the idea of maintaining a relative position within a given group of individuals as they change in time. This paper presents several approaches to study and analyze tracking (i.e., stability and predictability) and its application in physical education and sport. We will use data from a mixed-longitudinal study conducted in the city of Porto, Portugal, comprising 486 girls that were divided into two age cohorts: 12-14 years and 14-16 years. Body mass index (BMI) was the chosen variable in all statistical analyses of tracking. Statistical techniques to describe tracking included: autocorrelations, Foulkes & Davis gamma and Goldstein constancy index. Regardless of statistical procedure used, tracking BMI was moderate to high in each cohort, which could be due to the short follow-up period. However, each tracking statistics showed different aspects of inter-individual differences in intra-individual changes of girls’ BMI. The use of any of the suggested procedures to study aspects of stability and predictability (i.e., tracking) in longitudinal studies requires a careful scrutiny of main goals and hypotheses to be tested. |

Tracking and its applicability to Physical Education and SportA noção de tracking e sua aplicação à Educação Física e ao EsporteTracking refers to the idea of maintaining a relative position within a given group of individuals as they change in time.

O termo Tracking refere-se à noção de manutenção de posição relativa de valores de um dado grupo de sujeitos em função do tempo. O presente artigo apresenta diversas técnicas de estudo e análise do tracking (i.e., estabilidade e previsibilidade). Os dados utilizados provêm de um estudo longitudinal-misto da Região do Grande Porto, Portugal, compreendendo 486 meninas, divididas em duas coortes que abrangem as faixas etárias dos 12 aos 14 e dos 14 aos 16 anos. A variável eleita para as análises foi o índice de massa corporal (IMC). Os procedimentos estatísticos utilizados para descrever o tracking foram: autocorrelações, gama de Foulkes & Davis e índice de constância de Goldstein. Independentemente da estatística utilizada e face à curta duração do estudo, o tracking do IMC foi moderado a elevado em cada coorte. Contudo, cada procedimento de análise mostrou aspetos distintos das diferenças interindividuais nas mudanças intraindividuais do IMC das meninas. O uso parcimonioso de qualquer um dos procedimentos sugeridos para estudar aspetos da estabilidade e previsibilidade (i.e., do tracking) em estudos longitudinais exige o estabelecimento muito criterioso dos objetivos e hipóteses a serem testados.
