Abstract

This study explored how Physical Education (PE) was adapted to an online format at Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna, focusing on the challenges and opportunities that came with this transition. With 408 students participating in the research, the lack of proper facilities emerged as the biggest hurdle, making it difficult for many to fully engage in PE activities at home. Limited space, absence of equipment, and lack of motivation were among the key issues students faced.   Despite these challenges, the shift to online PE also opened new possibilities. Virtual fitness programs, video-guided exercises, and self-paced learning allowed students to stay active in ways that suited their home environments. The study highlighted the importance of creative teaching strategies, such as interactive workout sessions and digital assessments, to keep students engaged. Ultimately, while the absence of proper facilities posed difficulties, the findings showed that with the right support, PE could still be effectively delivered online, ensuring students physical well-being even in a remote setup.
