Análise das diferentes fases da corrida: uma abordagem física a partir da biomecânica do movimento por meio de imagens

Abstract

This work analyzes the different phases of running, addressing physics from the perspective of the biomechanics of movement through images. Using a qualitative approach and adopting the case study as the central methodological strategy, we analyzed the movement of 3 athletes during the race and related it to various areas of physics, such as kinematics, dynamics, biomechanics, and wave mechanics. Images were used to highlight each phase of the race and compare the biomechanics of different athletes, using a Garmin watch to monitor distance, time, speed, pace, and cadence. The integration of these concepts significantly contributes to physics education, as it relates abstract concepts to everyday situations. The results highlight the importance of using images to visualize physics concepts, as well as their application in the sports context. Using technological resources, such as cell phones to capture images, can be an effective tool for teaching physics, stimulating critical thinking and contributing to an investigative approach in students.
