Physical Exercise and Physical Activity

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of Physical Education

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.
a.
Physical activities and physical exercises are synonymous terms and can be used interchangeably to describe any type of body movement.
b.
Physical exercise is a form of physical activity that aims only to develop muscular strength, excluding other components of physical fitness.
c.
Physical activity is a broad term that includes any body movement, while physical exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive with the specific goal of improving physical fitness.
d.
Physical activity is limited to planned and structured physical exercises, excluding daily activities such as walking or climbing stairs.
e.
Physical activity is synonymous with sports, and physical exercise is the set of all physical activities, including sports and games.

Many people confuse the concepts of physical activity and exercise, although they are related, they have important differences. Explain the difference between physical exercise and physical activity and propose two alternatives of physical exercises that can be practiced within the school environment and two other activities that can be practiced outside the school environment.

During the last practical class, the 3rd year high school students participated in an 'Ultimate Frisbee' tournament, an invasion sport that combines elements of American football, basketball, and soccer, requiring cooperation and team strategy to advance and score points. Considering the concepts of motion kinematics, where kinematics studies movement purely in terms of space and time, without considering the causes of that movement, the students observed that, to throw a frisbee, it is necessary to calculate the force and direction of the throw, taking into account the distance and wind speed. If a player wants to throw a frisbee, with a mass of 175 g, so that it travels a horizontal distance of 30 m and at a constant height of 2.5 m above the ground, disregarding air resistance and considering the local acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s², what should be the initial velocity of the frisbee at the time of the throw? Additionally, suppose the player is able to apply a constant force to the frisbee during the throw. Calculate the initial velocity required to achieve this feat.

Volleyball, created in the late 19th century by William G. Morgan in the United States, quickly spread around the world, becoming one of the most popular sports in terms of participation and spectators. With its complex strategies, varied game dynamics, and demand for specific physical and technical skills, volleyball is a sport rich in details. In a volleyball match, reading the game is fundamental to anticipate and react to opponents' actions, and the players' positions on the court play a crucial role in this aspect. Consider a situation where a team is devising its game strategy to overcome a notoriously strong opponent in blocking. The coach, knowing well the capabilities of his athletes, decides to position the middle blocker, who has good blocking ability, in a position that historically offers a tactical advantage in direct confrontation with the opposing opposite hitter, who accelerates his jumping ability. Analyzing the interaction between the laws of physics and the biomechanics of the human body, determine the ideal position of the middle blocker in relation to the net at the moment when the opposing attacker is most likely to touch the ball to overcome the block, considering that both players are in ideal conditions to execute their actions and disregarding any effects of wind or other external variables.

Football, as a global socio-sporting phenomenon, has rules that not only regulate the game itself, but also reflect cultural and social values of different communities. Considering the complexity and historical richness of the sport, knowledge about its rules and evolution is essential for a deeper appreciation of the game. As sports philosopher Johan H. Evenepoel points out, 'Sports rules are, above all, cultural rules that reflect the history and values of a particular community.' Based on this statement, write a text where you: 1) Explain the importance of rules in football and how they relate to cultural and historical aspects of the sport; 2) Discuss the evolution of a specific rule in football over time, highlighting how this change reflected the needs or values of the society at that time.
