Question bank: Technical-Combinatory Sports

Combinatorial technical sports, such as artistic gymnastics, require athletes to perform precise sequences of movements, often composed of complementary elements. Imagine an artistic gymnastics athlete who must perform a floor routine, consisting of a half turn jump + a series of diagonal steps + a backward somersault. Considering the biomechanics of the movements, elaborate a brief text explaining how the combination of these elements can interfere with the technical execution and the level of difficulty of the sequence. Additionally, discuss the importance of body plasticity and the rule of 'not touching the ground with hands' for the evaluation and safety of the athlete during the performance of the sequence.

In technical-combinatory sports, such as volleyball and basketball, teams work together to achieve their goals, using different skills and strategies. Based on this knowledge, explain the importance of teamwork in these sports and how students can develop basic technical-tactical skills and respect the rules during the practice of these modalities.

Technical-combinatory sports are those that combine technical and tactical skills, requiring coordination and teamwork. An example of a technical-combinatory sport is volleyball. Within this context, which of the following statements about volleyball is correct?

Technical-combinatory sports are characterized by the execution of movements that require specific skills, in combined sequences and often with a relevant aesthetic component. A classic example is artistic gymnastics, which combines strength, flexibility, and precision in routines that are judged by very strict criteria. In a passage from the book 'The Art of Movement', the author Pedro Andrade discusses the importance of expressiveness and technique in artistic gymnastics: 'The pursuit of technical perfection in acrobatic elements must be in harmony with the athlete's body expression, creating a performance that is both an athletic feat and a form of art.' (ANDRADE, Pedro. The Art of Movement. São Paulo: Editora Movimento, 2018, p. 112). Considering the interdisciplinarity and the presented context, analyze how the laws of physics, particularly those referring to body mechanics, can influence the performance of athletes in technical-combinatory sports and identify how knowledge of these laws can be applied to improve the skills and execution of techniques of these athletes.

During the Physical Education class, a group of 6th-grade students is learning about technical combinatorial sports, which involve the combination of technical elements such as jumps, spins, and acrobatics in a sequence that must be performed without errors. Considering the knowledge of physics, students must analyze the sequence of an athlete who performs a triple somersault jump, followed by two rolls, and finally a back landing. The force of gravity can be considered constant and equal to 9.8 m/s^2. Using Torricelli's equation (Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2a*d) and knowing that the athlete's initial acceleration is 0 m/s^2, create a question that involves the application of Torricelli's equation to determine the athlete's final velocity at the moment of landing. The question should include the need to calculate the maximum height reached by the athlete during the triple somersault jump. In addition, students must justify how the application of physics can contribute to the understanding and improvement of the skills necessary for the safe and efficient practice of these movements in the sports context.
