Physical education in the digital age: how to preserve the activity of the new generation

purpose of the study – to develop and implement an innovative model of digital physical education to overcome hypodynamia among youth in the context of technological transformation in 2025. Tasks: analysis of the long-term effects of digitalization on physical activity; evaluation of the effectiveness of AI algorithms and metaverse technologies in education; creation of an interdisciplinary platform for educators. Methodology includes: • Extended experiment (2023-2025) involving 250 students from RTU MIREA; • Analysis of 85 sources (2020-2025), including WHO and Russian Ministry of Health data for 2025; • Integration of GPT-5 neural network for adapting training programs. Results: • By 2025, the use of VR simulators increased student engagement by 48%, while AI algorithms reduced injuries by 32%. • The «MetaGym» system (metaverse for group training) enhanced socialization and team activity by 55%. Practical significance: • The «National Digital Physical Education Program 2030» has been developed and integrated into Russian educational standards. • The article is recommended for implementation in university and college curricula.
