Abstract

This study explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing physical education (PE) curricula through the lens of real-world data, employing a critical discourse analysis framework. As educational institutions increasingly adopt AI technologies, the integration of real-time data analytics offers unprecedented opportunities to tailor PE programs to the diverse needs of students. This research examines existing literature and case studies to identify how AI applications, such as predictive analytics and personalized feedback systems, influence student engagement, physical activity levels, and overall health outcomes. The findings highlight both the transformative potential of AI in creating adaptive learning environments and the challenges that arise, including issues of equity, access, and the digital divide. Moreover, the analysis critically engages with the discourses surrounding the implementation of AI in education, questioning the implications for teaching practices, student agency, and the future of PE as a discipline. Ultimately, this study aims to provide educators, policymakers, and researchers with insights into effective strategies for integrating AI within PE curricula, ensuring that technological advancements align with educational goals while promoting inclusivity and student well-being. The implications of this research extend beyond physical education, contributing to broader discussions on technology’s role in educational reform and health promotion.
