The integration of deep pedagogical learning has shifted physical education from traditional instruction toward intellectually stimulating and student-centered methodologies. The objective is to explore the impact of implementing deep pedagogical learning on the latest technological advances. This study is a systematic review. It uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method to ensure transparency in the data collection process. This study uses the SCOPUS, ERIC, PubMed, and IEEE Xplore databases. In addition, this study uses Publish or Perish software as a screening tool and VosViewer software as a keyword analysis tool. The exclusion criteria set in this study are studies that are not published in the form of articles, have the same title, are retracted, and are irrelevant. The inclusion criteria established were studies published in the form of articles and relevant to the topic of this study. Based on the screening results, 58 relevant research data points were obtained, and 10 of them were used as a literature review determined based on the most cited articles. The systematic review results presented how technology has a considerable influence on physical education learning. The finding indicates deep pedagogical learning is proven to improve the quality of physical education, both for students, teachers, and the learning process itself.
