• Encourage the practice of physical activities regularly and appropriately.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Content: The teacher starts the class by quickly reviewing the importance of physical activity for health, recalling concepts such as sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and the relationship of these factors with various diseases. At this moment, the teacher can use images or practical examples to make the review more dynamic and engaging. (3 - 4 minutes)

2. Problem-Solving Situations: The teacher proposes two problem-solving situations to stimulate students' thinking:

   • "What are the differences between taking a daily walk to work and regularly attending a gym?"
   • "Why do some people who exercise regularly may still have health problems?" (3 - 4 minutes)

3. Contextualization: The importance of physical activity is discussed in relation to quality of life, productivity, disease prevention, and treatment of chronic conditions. The teacher can mention examples of high-performance athletes who, despite exercising intensely, may still have health problems due to other factors such as poor nutrition, stress, among others. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Introduction to the Topic: The teacher presents the topic of the class, physical exercise versus physical activity, emphasizing that although both are important for health, they have distinct characteristics and benefits. To arouse students' interest, the teacher can share a curiosity, such as the history of the emergence of gyms and the development of the concept of physical exercise. (2 - 3 minutes)

5. Engaging Students' Attention: To capture students' attention, the teacher can share two curiosities:

   • "Did you know that the word 'gymnastics' comes from the Greek 'gymnastikos', which means 'related to physical exercise'?"
   • "Did you know that in the early 20th century, the practice of exercise was discouraged for women, as it was believed that it could harm their reproductive capacity?" (1 - 2 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Classification Activity (10 - 12 minutes)

   • The teacher divides the class into groups of 4 to 5 students and gives each group cards with different types of physical activities, such as "walking", "weightlifting", "dance", "active board games", and "team sports".
   • The activity's goal is for students to classify each activity as physical exercise or physical activity, justifying their choices based on what was discussed in the Introduction of the class.
   • After the classification, each group presents their decisions to the class, allowing for a collective discussion about the differences and similarities between the activities.

2. Exercise Program Planning Activity (10 - 12 minutes)

   • Still in groups, students are tasked with planning an exercise program for a sedentary person who wants to improve their health and physical fitness.
   • They should consider the individual's profile, including age, gender, level of sedentary lifestyle, and possible health restrictions.
   • The program should include different types of physical activities and be planned to ensure a safe and effective progression of physical fitness.
   • After planning, each group presents their program to the class, explaining the choices made and the expected benefits.

3. Debate on the Benefits and Limitations of Exercise and Physical Activity (5 - 8 minutes)

   • The teacher proposes a classroom debate on the benefits and limitations of exercise and physical activity, raising questions such as: "What happens to the body when we engage in physical exercises?", "What are the mental benefits of physical activity?", "What are the limitations of exercise and physical activity in relation to health?".
   • Students are encouraged to express their opinions and to base them on evidence and knowledge acquired throughout the class.
   • The teacher should moderate the debate, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to participate and that the discussions are respectful and productive.

Return (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (3 - 4 minutes)

   • The teacher gathers all students and asks each group to briefly share the solutions or conclusions reached during the classification and planning activities.
   • Students are encouraged to reflect on the decision-making process and to justify their choices, promoting a collaborative learning environment.
   • The teacher should ask targeted questions to each group, stimulating reflection on the differences and similarities between the decisions made by each group.

2. Connection to Theory (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher then connects the activities carried out with the theory presented at the beginning of the class, reinforcing the difference between physical exercise and physical activity and the importance of each for health and well-being.
   • The teacher can highlight the main ideas presented by students during the group discussion and relate them to theoretical concepts, reinforcing students' understanding.

3. Individual Reflection (2 - 3 minutes)

   • To conclude the class, the teacher proposes a moment of individual reflection, where students are invited to think about what they have learned.
   • The teacher asks questions such as: "What was the most important concept you learned today?", "What questions have not been answered yet?" and "How can you apply what you learned today in your daily life?".
   • Students have a minute to reflect and, if they wish, can share their answers with the class.
   • The goal of this moment is for students to internalize what they have learned, identify possible gaps in their understanding, and reflect on the applicability of the concepts learned in their daily lives.

4. Feedback and Closure (1 minute)

   • The teacher thanks the students for their participation, reinforcing the importance of the topic for health and well-being and encouraging them to continue questioning and exploring the subject.
   • The teacher can also ask for feedback from students about the class, asking what they liked the most, what they found most challenging, and what they would like to learn more about in the future. This feedback can be valuable for planning future classes.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Review of Contents (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher revisits the main points discussed during the class, reinforcing the definition of physical exercise and physical activity, the differences between them, and their respective benefits for health and well-being.
   • Additionally, the teacher provides a brief summary of the practical activities carried out, highlighting the main conclusions and reflections made by students.

2. Theory-Practice Connection (1 - 2 minutes)

   • The teacher emphasizes how the class connected theory, practice, and reflection, highlighting how the classification and planning activities allowed students to apply the discussed theoretical concepts.
   • The teacher also reinforces how the debate and reflection contributed to deepening students' understanding of the topic.

3. Additional Materials (1 minute)

   • The teacher suggests reading and viewing materials for students who wish to deepen their knowledge on the subject. These materials may include scientific articles, documentaries, educational videos, and health organization websites.
   • For example, the teacher may recommend a documentary on the history of physical exercise and the evolution of sports practices, or an article that explains in detail the benefits of exercise and physical activity for health.

4. Application in Daily Life (1 - 2 minutes)

   • Finally, the teacher highlights the importance of the topic for students' daily lives, reinforcing the need to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
