Imagine that you are a detective and need to uncover a mystery about your own body. To solve this mystery, you must pay close attention to the signals your body sends when you move and play. Think about a game or activity that you really enjoy doing, and describe how your body moves during this play. Which parts of your body do you use the most? And what movements can you easily make? Now, thinking about this game, write about a superpower that you would like to have to further improve your ability to move and why this superpower would be important to you.

During an athletics competition, a group of 2nd-year high school students decided to investigate the performance in track and field sports and its relation to the laws of physics. In particular, they focused on high jump and shot put. In high jump, they observed that an athlete, weighing 70 kg, reached a height of 1.90 m in his best attempt, while in shot put, another athlete, with the same weight, threw a 7.26 kg weight a distance of 15.00 m. Considering that the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s² and that there was no significant air influence on the observed movements, calculate the mechanical energy involved in the movement of each athlete in their respective activities. Relate these values to the necessary muscular power and discuss how understanding these quantities can be applied to optimize the athletes' performance in track and field sports.

In the current context, the practice of physical exercise is strongly encouraged due to its health benefits. However, it is common for people to confuse the terms 'physical exercise' and 'physical activity', using them as synonyms. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), 'physical exercise' is a subcategory of 'physical activity' that is planned, structured, repetitive, and intentional with the goal of improving or maintaining one or more components of physical fitness' (ACSM, 2014). Based on this definition, discuss the conceptual differences between 'physical activity' and 'physical exercise', as well as their implications in the development of health programs and the public's understanding of the importance of body movement.

Regular practice of sports has been widely encouraged as a way to promote health and well-being in people's lives. Based on the benefits and possible negative impacts of sports on the human body, explain why sports practice is healthy and mention two benefits and two negative impacts that may occur if sports are practiced inappropriately.
