Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many countries around the world have enforced essential restrictions on social life and education to slow the spread of COVID-19. These included introducing varying degrees of social isolation and restrictions on things like social gatherings, travel, sports, leisure activities, going to work and school. In this context, schools in 194 countries were closed. Teaching and coaching of sports activities were tried to be maintained by using distance-learning tools. The infrastructure and facilities of all institutions in the countries were organized to prevent the epidemic.
For example, in North Macedonia, the school year ended with online teaching and homeschooling. As a result, teachers used different forms such as online classes with live-stream, recorded videos, tasks for students, projects, or just links to follow. In Hungary, weekly "movement diaries" were used to motivate students for physical education. Physical education teachers were asked to teach via online distance learning in Italy. The National Association of Physical Education Teachers supported physical education teachers by organizing online materials, video lessons available for everyone with practical and theoretical contents, webinars about the most popular sports applications and how to teach physical education. In addition, online questionnaires were completed about how to organize the next school year and a physical education campaign on social media called #IdoNotstopMoving was launched. Those resources were free and available for all physical education teachers in Italy (European Physical Education Association, 2020).
In the United States, National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) supported physical education teachers by providing online virtual resources for health and physical education, #HPEatHome, including videos with theoretical and practical content. Teachers used a distance-learning program with suggestions for practical physical education activities that could be done at home. Thus, Physical Education teachers conducted online sessions and completed one hour of moderate to strong physical activity daily according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Teachers in Turkey, prepared by the EBA (Education information network) platform for students from the Ministry of Education made online courses. Moreover, live broadcasts were daily available for students from the EBA-TV channel. In this sense, the purpose of this Research Topic is to understand the effects of COVID-19 on teaching Health, Physical Education and Coaching sports skills in the community.
We welcome all articles (e.g., original research, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, case study) focused on teaching Health, Physical Education, and Coaching Sports. Research subjects include but are not limited to:
? Teaching Health & Physical Education in schools during COVID-19
? Coaching sport-related skills in schools, clubs and community during COVID-19
? Health, Physical Education, Coaching Curriculum & Assessment during COVID-19
? Teaching physical activity and healthy lifestyles in schools during COVID-19
? Teaching physical literacy during COVID-19
? 'Teacher in-service' training programs during COVID-19
