"Cooper" IS "jogging." "Estou fazendo cooper" => 'I am jogging'. Jogging was popularized by Dr. Cooper, and Brazilians adopted his name instead of "jogging."

So the Gary Cooper story is just an urban legend, then? Boo hoo!
lexical May 15, 2007:
To reply to your question about "what is Cooper?", rhandler is almost certainly right: Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper (Google him), who designed fitness exercise regimes for NASA and pretty well invented aerobics.
Amy Duncan (X) May 15, 2007:
Ouvi dizer que a expressão "cooper" surgui depois do ator famoso Gary Cooper fazer uma visita para SP, onde ele fazea uma corrida todos os dias no parque Anhembi...será?
rhandler May 15, 2007:
Cooper é o nome do médico que pesquisou as vantagens daquele exercício físico aeróbico para o sistema circulatório e outras partes do organismo, estabelecendo o "Teste de Cooper". Veja: newsinfo.iu.edu/web/page/normal/5259.html

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : Tracks are in a stadium; in a park you have "trails." "Trail" is about 3 x more common in the park context.

Personally, I have never heard the term "track"used in the informal sense - only as a form round track that is marked - which could exist in a park, I suppose.
