Questão de Languages, Codes and their Technologies #019e354a
Pressão, depressão, estresse e crise de ansiedade. Os males da sociedade contemporânea também estão no esporte. A tenista Naomi Osaka, do Japão, jogadora mais bem paga do mundo e que já ocupou o número 2 do ranking, retirou-se do torneio de Roland Garros de 2021 porque não estava conseguindo administrar as crises de ansiedade provocadas pelos grandes eventos, por ser uma estrela aos 23 anos, e pelo peso de parte da imprensa. O tenista australiano Nick Kyrgios, de 25 anos, revelou sua “situação triste e solitária” enquanto lutava contra a depressão causada pelo ritmo avassalador do Circuito Mundial de Tênis. O jogador de basquete americano Kevin Love também tornou público seu quadro de ansiedade e depressão. O mundo do atleta é solitário e distante da família. O que vemos numa partida não reflete a rotina desgastante. A imprensa denomina atletas como heróis, como se aquele corpo fosse indestrutível, mas a mente é o ponto fraco da história.

Explicação Oficial / Explicações da Comunidade
Analysis of Mental Health in Sports
The correct answer is option A. E) Constant pressure from events and the media.
1. Identifying the Causes in the Text
The text explicitly points to the sources of imbalance in the mental health of high-performance athletes. Let's highlight the key passages:
- For Naomi Osaka: The cause of their anxiety attacks is directly attributed to "major events" and to "weight of part of the press". * For Nick Kyrgios: His depression was caused by "overwhelming pace of the World Tennis Circuit", which is a form of pressure generated by the consistency and intensity of events. * General Analysis: The text generalizes by mentioning the "exhausting routine" and the way in which **"The press refers to athletes as heroes"**This creates an unrealistic expectation of invincibility and increases the pressure on them.
All these points converge on a central idea: athletes are subjected to an extreme and continuous level of demand, both from competition schedules (events) and from the pressure and exposure from the media.
2. Evaluation of Other Alternatives
- A) Diverse nationalities of the practitioners: Incorrect. The athletes' nationality is mentioned only as biographical information, not as a cause of their mental health problems. * B) Different sports modalities: Incorrect. The text mentions tennis and basketball to show that the problem is not restricted to a single sport, but rather is widespread in the world of high-performance sports. * C) Approximate age ranges: Incorrect. Although the athletes mentioned are young, age is not presented as the primary cause, but rather as a factor that can intensify the weight of the pressures they face. * D) Heroic representations of athletes: Incorrect. This is one of the causes mentioned, but it is only... a part from the pressure exerted by the media. Option E is more complete, as it encompasses both the pressure from the media (which includes the creation of heroes) and the pressure from the sporting events themselves.
3. Conclusion
The common thread that unites all the stories and the final analysis of the text is... relentless pressure that defines the life of an elite athlete. This pressure comes from multiple fronts, but the text specifically highlights the intensity of events competitive and the role of media in the construction of expectations and in constant scrutiny. Therefore, the constant pressure from events and the media These are the main causes identified.
