THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR COMPREHENSIVE ENHANCEMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Technology plays a transformative role in physical education by enhancing the learning experience, improving student engagement, and facilitating skill development. Wearable devices, in particular, contribute significantly to this transformation by enabling the monitoring, motivation, and personalization of physical activity through technological means. As technology advances, the monitoring and assessment of physical performance have become increasingly sophisticated. Mobile technologies have expanded the range of tools available to physical education professionals, allowing them to evaluate and improve their students’ physical skills effectively. The aim of the present paper is to explore and explain how technology serves as a transformative tool in enhancing various aspects of physical education, including student engagement, teaching methods, curriculum development, and skill acquisition. Examples of such technologies include video analysis software, wearable fitness trackers, physical education apps, and gaming systems. These tools collectively enhance both teaching and learning processes while promoting better health outcomes. It is concluded that the integration of technology in physical education is essential for creating more effective, engaging, and future-ready learning experiences. By incorporating digital tools such as fitness trackers, interactive apps, and video analysis platforms, educators can deliver personalized instruction, provide real-time feedback, and apply innovative teaching strategies.
