Enhancing Primary School Students' Interest in Sports through Advanced Technologies

Abstract

This article explores the role of advanced technologies in enhancing primary school students' interest in sports activities. With the growing integration of digital tools such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), fitness apps, and interactive gaming systems, traditional physical education is evolving into a more engaging and personalized experience. The study highlights how these technologies motivate children to participate actively in sports by combining entertainment with exercise. Furthermore, the use of gamification and data tracking promotes skill development, teamwork, and a lifelong interest in physical fitness. The findings suggest that incorporating advanced technologies into school sports programs can significantly improve students' physical and mental well-being, reduce sedentary behavior, and foster a positive attitude toward an active lifestyle.
