Time-motion analysis refers to the frame-by-frame examination of video footage of each athlete both during training or competition; this analysis registers the recording of time-and-distance data, movement patterns, frequency, mean duration and total time spent in a specific activity. These variables obtained in the time motion analysis can lead to information about the metabolisms involved in each activity and provide motion analysis for correction of possible execution errors to help the coaches to prescribe a specific training. This review shows the concept and benefits of time motion analysis in surf practice presenting the results obtained in the studies carried out using this approach of movement analysis.
