Objectives. This study aimed to identify the challenges and opportunities in implementing mobile learning in physical education, focusing on its impact on learning effectiveness, student engagement, and teacher readiness. Materials and methods. In this study, a systematic review of Scopus-indexed articles (2019–2024) on mobile learning in physical education was conducted. The study followed the PRISMA methodology, selecting 10 relevant articles from an initial dataset of 241,924. The analysis encompassed publication trends, research focus, methodologies, and citation rates to evaluate mobile learning’s role in physical education. Results. The findings indicate that mobile learning presents both challenges and opportunities in physical education. Key challenges include limited technological infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, and potential reductions in student physical activity due to inappropriate app use. However, using mobile learning technology offers significant benefits, such as increased accessibility, flexible learning options, gamification for motivation, and real-time performance tracking. Effective implementation of this learning technology requires appropriate teacher training, improved infrastructure, and careful selection of digital tools that enhance student engagement in physical activities. Conclusions. Mobile learning has the potential to enhance physical education when integrated strategically. Overcoming technological and pedagogical barriers can maximize its benefits, making learning more interactive and effective. © Raehang, Virama, L. O. A., & Yudhistira, D., 2025.
