  1. A sideways step in which one leg crosses over the other.
    • 1982, Arthur J. Helfet, Disorders of the knee, page 388:
      In the final phase, the athlete works in non-cleated shoes on starts, stops, jumps, rounded side-step cuts, and crossover cuts, advancing to hard 90° cuts, and running tighter and tighter figures-of-eight. Defensive backs run sideways and backward and perform carioca (crossover) steps.
    • 2006, Michael L. Voight, Barbara J. Hoogenboom, William E. Prentice, Musculoskeletal Interventions: Techniques for Therapeutic Exercise, →ISBN:
      These included the cocontraction maneuver (a shuffling maneuver around a semicircle while tethered to surgical tubing), a carioca (crossover stepping), and a shuttle run (an acceleration and deceleration test).
    • 2007, Walter R. Frontera, Clinical Sports Medicine: Medical Management and Rehabilitation, →ISBN:
      Leg press, squat, circle running, figure eights, single-leg hops, vertical jumps, lateral bounds, one-legged long jumps, and carioca (crossover walking) are some examples.
  2. Alternative form of Carioca
    • 2010, Ruy Castro, Rio de Janeiro: Carnival under Fire, →ISBN:
      But, for someone looking at it objectively, the relationship is a deceptive one – because at the same time as cariocas can't be seen working (shut up as they are in offices, government institutions and commercial establishments), everyone can see cariocas not working.
    • 2011, Robert Minhinnick, The Keys of Babylon, →ISBN:
      Or he might go to Rio. Rio with its white sand. He knew a rhyme about Rio, its thieving cariocas who wore sparkling wedding dresses.
    • 2012, Ade Asefeso, CEO Guide to Doing Business in Brazil, →ISBN:
      Even though cariocas are very professional they tend to be more laid back and easy going than business people from Sao Paulo. You can notice this as soon as you talk to a carioca.
