Abstract The integration of technology in physical education has presented both opportunities and challenges in modern learning environments. While advancements in digital tools, wearable fitness trackers, and virtual training programs have enhanced engagement and personalized learning, they also raise concerns about reduced physical activity, screen dependency, and the digital divide. Traditional physical education emphasizes hands-on, movement-based learning, but technological advancements risk shifting the focus toward data analysis rather than actual participation. Additionally, issues such as accessibility, cost, and the need for teacher training further complicate the seamless integration of technology. The impact of technological advancements on physical education, highlighting the benefits, challenges, and potential strategies for balancing innovation with the core principles of physical fitness and well-being. Physical education (PE) plays a crucial role in promoting physical fitness, motor skills, and overall well-being. However, several issues hinder its effectiveness in modern education systems. Challenges such as inadequate funding, lack of trained educators, limited facilities, and reduced curriculum time have led to a decline in student participation. Additionally, the growing reliance on technology and sedentary lifestyles contribute to decreased physical activity levels among students. Socioeconomic disparities further impact access to quality PE programs, exacerbating health inequalities. This paper explores these challenges, their implications for student health and academic performance, and potential solutions to enhance the effectiveness of physical education in schools.
