In order to categorise and describe the set of variables of both internal and external logic in an ethnomotor situation, Rafael Luchorro has developed the table below.
It is presented in its adaptation for the article «The Traditional Sporting Games as a mirror of society. The case of the Games in Lleida, in the Spanish Civil War», by Rafael Luchoro-Parrilla, Enric Ormo-Ribes, Pere Lavega-Burgués, Rosa Rodríguez-Arregi, Aaron Rillo-Albert and Miguel Pic. The objective is the study of the traditional sport game during the Spanish Civil War.
Based on the different possibilities presented in each domain of motor action, it categorises the possible variables and offers a description of them.
This contribution allows researchers to have a reference to follow for other studies.
