The global pandemic has wreaked havoc on academics, classrooms, and physical education. There is no doubt physical education and the physical development of children during their developmental years were greatly affected by the pandemic. Physical education is a field in which physical distancing, wearing masks, and avoiding close contact is extremely difficult.

If You Cannot Do It – Can You Teach It? – PHE America
(Article 4 of 5)People with physical disabilities hold limited positions as scholars, teachers, or leaders in physical education, recreation, and sports.
