The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift from traditional to virtual learning across educational disciplines, including Physical Education (PE). This study investigates the effectiveness, challenges, and outcomes of virtual PE programs implemented during and after the pandemic. Data were collected through surveys and interviews with PE teachers and students across various educational levels. Results suggest that while virtual PE increased accessibility and digital engagement, it lacked essential components such as physical interaction, real-time feedback, and space for movement. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating hybrid models to enhance physical education in a post-pandemic world.
