ABSTRACT

This qualitative research examined the challenges and opportunities of virtual physical education management due to the underlying issues that have plagued physical education teachers throughout the health crisis. The data for this study were collected using a descriptive-qualitative research approach. The researcher selected ten physical education teachers from a particular school in China. This method led to the explanation of informant experiences, which were finally translated into codes and significant themes. Results show that despite the fact that the vast majority of teachers explicitly discussed the negative aspects of their experiences during the lockdown, almost all agreed that online education provides Physical Education with exciting new potential.
