Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a profound disruption of global educational systems, with significant consequences on students’ motor development and the structure of physical education lessons. The suspension of in-person classes, restricted access to sports activities, and the abrupt shift to online learning led to a dramatic decrease in physical activity levels among middle school students. This theoretical article analyzes, based on specialized literature, the pandemic’s effects on motor parameters such as endurance, strength, and coordination, and emphasizes the need for curricular reorganization adapted to new educational realities. The article discusses the challenges faced by teachers and students in delivering physical education under remote or restricted conditions, as well as the necessary intervention directions for reducing motor development gaps and building a more equitable and functional educational framework.
