This study aimed to propose a framework for improving physical education and sports curricula in light of artificial intelligence (AI) concepts and future skills. It examined the current status of the curricula, the AI concepts that should be integrated, the requirements for curriculum development, and the role of updated curricula in enhancing students’ future skills. The researchers used the descriptive survey method and collected data through a questionnaire consisting of 40 items distributed across four domains. The study sample included 120 students from Al-Aqsa University, in addition to 15 students for the exploratory study.

The findings revealed that the current physical education curricula only moderately meet the requirements of the digital age, with a mean score of 2.48. In contrast, participants strongly supported the inclusion of AI concepts in the curricula, especially applications related to sports performance analysis. The study also showed that curriculum development requires improved infrastructure and faculty training, which achieved the highest mean score of 4.49. Furthermore, the proposed AI-based curricula were found to significantly enhance future skills such as digital literacy, critical thinking, and data analysis. Overall, the study concluded that integrating AI concepts into sports education curricula is essential for preparing graduates who can adapt to modern educational and sports environments.
