ABSTRACT

Introduction

The outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the traditional way of teaching physical education.

Objective

Exercising to improve physical fitness, strengthen immunity, and minimize disruption of the COVID-19 epidemic is a common concern among students.

Conclusion

Most students’ activities have changed significantly, and university physical education teachers should provide tailored guidance in exercise to ensure health and safety, in addition to promoting post-workout teaching based on current needs ensuring health and safety while promoting the benefits of physical education teaching in extra-class workouts.
