Investigating popular topics for the integration of the internet of things in physical education: A content analysis in higher education

“…Physical education is a very important subject studied in schools (Green, 2014;Stormoen et al, 2016), as it makes a significant contribution to the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development (Cale et al, 2016;Harris, 2018) and the development of students (Akhter & Ahmed, 2021). The traditional mode of teaching physical education is gradually being abandoned, and physical education has begun to change direction towards intelligent forms (Ding et al, 2021;Meng, 2021;Yu, 2021), such as the use of MOOCs in physical education learning at the higher education level in football materials (Tian et al, 2022), basketball learning through network information technology through images, words, sounds, videos, and animations (Chen & Zhou, 2022), procurement of smart sports in universities as a resource for smart sports teaching, smart sports facilities, online competitions, and virtual sports for college students (Deng et al, 2022), and the use of AI and metaverse through the mobile internet (Li et al, 2022). In addition, the development of the Internet of Things for physical education teaching towards smart forms can also be observed, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and proven to help in online learning (Bucea-Manea-Țoniș et al, 2022), by being oriented towards actual classroom teaching (Cai et al, 2019;Nosova et al, 2015;Turton et al, 2016), such as the use of Google Classroom, Moodle, and other information technology (Shmeleva et al, 2021).…”
